Overview:
The RF-100 Reflection Filter by MXL provides portable sound isolation and is designed to reduce unwanted reflections and ambient room noise when recording in untreated performance spaces - a major problem in most home and project studios
- The desired result of course is obtaining the driest vocal and instrument recordings possible
- Recordings free from bad reflections and excessive room ambience are easier to work with and always sit better in the mix helping to achieve that professional radio-ready sound.
- The RF-100 features two unique side panels allowing it to adapt to any recording environment or be adjusted to obtain the sound you're looking for.
- Also, its lightweight design and included mounting hardware make it compatible with most mic stands eliminating the need to purchase a heavy-duty and often pricey stand to accommodate the filter.

Using your RF-100 Reflection Filter:
- The RF-100 can be attached directly to a floor microphone stand via the mounting hole on the bottom of the unit. If required, the supplied adjustable support bar can be installed at this stage.
- Simply slide the support bar over the threaded portion of the mic stand using the single hole on the bar before affixing the RF-100 reflection filter. The microphone support post attaches to the elongated slot in the support bar with the supplied knurled nut and washers.
- The slotted configuration affords a degree of fore/aft adjustment to assist with optimally positioning your microphone.
- Alternatively, the RF-100 can be attached to a boom-type microphone stand using the two attached “u-clamp” fittings on the rear of the unit
- By using this method, the boom portion can be used to afford a greater degree of adjustment in microphone position.
- The RF-100 provides the least ‘colored’ results when the microphone is centrally positioned within the body of the filter. Alternative positions however can prove very useful for obtaining specific treatments.
- For example, setting up the reflection filter with the microphone closer to the filter wall in front of a guitar cabinet or closer to the open front in a live sounding room lets more of the room sound into the microphone.
- As with any other piece of recording equipment, experimentation is key
