Hello

I saw a video with Tiffany Monique (B-vocals for Beyonce´s, Mariah Carey etc) when she was recording vocals at home.

In about 2:24 min there is a "portable audio wall" sort of speak. What are these called and where can I get one?

I think they're over priced for what they are. You can make your own for ¢.

if you cant swing the price, one can be made very easily, though they don't look as professional they accomplish the same thing.

And I thought you were talking about the moving blanket that was nailed to the wall

Actually the moving blanket on the back-wall is likely the most effective thing there.
 
I never understood why anyone would put a reflection filter behind a mic with a cardoid pick up patterm when most of what you don't want is coming from the same direction as what you do want is.

Thanks guys!

If the blanket do the trick, why not use that;)

Blankets are as much a halfway solution as Reflexion Filters. In both cases, the most flattering thing you can say about them is they're better than nothing.

The purpose of acoustical treatments for vocals is to reduce the level of reflections from room boundaries (floor, ceiling, walls and windows). That requires significant absorption down to at least 400Hz. 200Hz is better. Blankets are effective down to about 1 or 2 KHz. Any resonances below that, and the most damaging resonances are typically in the 400-600Hz range, will not be affected by blankets.

Monique is also sitting on a leather couch, which probably isn't helping!

I've got a Reflection filter at my project studio and it works great.  Honest.  In fact my setup is not that different than hers.  Except I stand in front of an open double wide closet full of clothes instead of a moving blanket on the wall.

I too thought the OP was asking what that high tech "audio wall" thingy was...and I'm going...welp...it's a moving blanket:-)

i think I'm gonna build me one'a these boys. My room isn't treated in any wa, the closet thing I have to treatment is 7 carpet squares that I have yet to mount. My mom and I are redoing our 'music room', and I don't think she's up for ruining the asthetics of it by putting blankets on the walls :|
