Neewer® NW-700 Professional Studio Broadcasting Recording Condenser Microphone & NW-35 Adjustable Recording Microphone Suspension Scissor Arm Stand with Shock Mount and Mounting Clamp Kit

Product Information

Its audio circuitry has been improved, which has helped boost this microphone’s performance regardless of what you need it for. Capturing sharp, rich, and full audio sounds without running files through some editing process is what many users adore about this microphone. Not everyone has the cash to invest in a top of the line Halo or sE, especially if you’re an amateur musician or just starting out. Spending 3 figures on a microphone isolation shield in some cases just isn’t feasible. But with that being said, we would urge you to tread carefully when considering budget mic reflection filters. Very carefully! Why? The best microphone reflection filters/ isolation shields are those which don’t just slightly improve your vocals, but almost eradicate the need for a vocal booth or sound treated room altogether. So as you can imagine then, in the right hands they’re very powerful pieces of kit, not to mention a workflow god-send! Easy Operation with LCD Display- The receiver comes with a LCD display to clearly present all information about the microphone and transmitters, including volume, battery life, current recording mode, etc., to allow users to have full knowledge about the mic recording progress and realizes easier control

Hold on – don’t be fooled into thinking that mic reflection filters are all the same. They’re not! In fact, to assume so you couldn’t be more wrong. For instance, some filters use traditional foam to diffuse sound, while others rely on innovative forms of felt. And it’s much the same with mic coverage too. Some protect your mic from all 360 degrees, while others just deal with reverb from the sides.

Build quality– As with any piece of studio kit, build quality should always be a far higher priority than price. Yes, budget is important, but build quality should be your focus. That way you stand the a good chance of getting the best value for money. Aspects of a mic shield that could help you determine this include: the mounting system (is it metal?), the type of diffusion (is it just foam?) or the place of manufacture (is it made in China?). And that’s because this filter ain’t no slouch! The build relies on premium materials and on the whole feels super solid. We’re particular fans of the metal finish on this filter, which looks 10x better than cheap plastic. Also its shape, which while compact, does a great job at catching stray vocals. And despite all this, the filter isn’t exactly heavy either. Weighing in at 2kg it’s heavy enough to feel sturdy, but not so heavy that it sways around when placed on a mic stand. Based on audio quality, you need to settle for a microphone capable of delivering the best audio quality, whether you are making a recording or singing. When it comes to the best microphone reflection filters, the Aston Halo is definitely up there. And while this mic shield isn’t what you’d call conventional, it’s like that for a reason – this filter is custom built for performance!

And as for the filter itself, it comprises of a whopping 10 layers of insulation material including acoustic grade wool, aluminium membrane absorber and sE’s own polyester fibreboard, all designed to help with sound absorption, isolation and diffusion. Characteristics that we can vouch for, as particularly when you study the levels in your DAW, it’s clear the sE RF-Space does its job. It’s no wonder the’ve a patent on this design of multi-layer filter. What’s more, in terms of design it’s no slouch either! In comparison to all the other mic isolation filters on this list, the Halo doesn’t just recreate what’s been done. Instead it takes the concept of the mic isolation shield and puts its own futuristic twist on it. Its wind foam cap will be very effective only when this microphone is used outdoors. Considering all of these features, you have no option but to settle for the Neewer NW-700 microphone when you look at another microphone with lesser features.And that’s because no two filters are the same. In which case it’s good to have an idea of what to look for, as well as the qualities that you should value the most. Do so and you stand a far better chance of finding the best microphone reflection filter for you and your setup first time. So here’s the 3 main qualities that we think you should keep at the front of your mind when shopping for a mic shield… If simplicity is what you’re after in a mic isolation shield, then NW-6 vocal booth from Neewer may be all you need. As far as foam vocal booths go, this is certainly up there with the best. In contrast to cheaper vocal booths, the foam in the Neewer is reasonably dense and feels supple to touch. Neewer’s also used various types of soundproofing in the NW-6 such as aluminium sheets too. So much so that when it comes to diffusing sound, it doesn’t actually do a bad job. The 3 layers themselves are an absorbing layer, a reflective layer and a filter layer, all of which do slightly different things for your voice. The absorbing layer (high density EVA foam) soaks up audio waves to prevent sound reflection. The filter layer (a form of acoustic cotton insulation) then dampens the sounds that can’t be absorbed, while the reflective layer works to isolate any ambient noise. All very clever stuff, which you really do notice what with this being a 5-part reflection filter. For starters, the size of this mic reflection filter is, well, there’s no other word for it – mahoosive! With a whopping 5 panels (3 fixed and 2 movable), it’s hard to find such a HQ filter which offers so much flexibility. The screen is so large that you can practically shut yourself off from the outside world. Exactly what you need for ultimate diffusion. And yet despite it’s size, on a good quality mic stand, it doesn’t feel unstable. Trading steel for aluminium means this filter weighs just 2.82kg! Call them the secret weapon of any bedroom producer or independent artist. That piece of their studio setup that fends off unwanted reverb and allows them to record songs ‘on the go’, without comprising much in the way of quality. The story’s much the same if their bedroom’s acoustics aren’t up to scratch either. Use a reflection filter when recording vocals and you should hear a noticeable difference.
