Acoustic shields are audio engineers best friends. Whether you are a podcaster, musician, voice artist, etc... acoustic shields help prevent unwanted sound and reverberation from hitting the microphone. That means those pesky echoes and environmental sound pollution will not record in your audio stream. This is especially important for recording environments with little or no audio treatment, but an acoustic shield is an essential tool even in the professional recording studio. The Acoustic-Shield AS34 is constructed from high-quality perforated metal with 35mm high-density micro cell acoustic foam that eliminates that background noise, so you only record the audio you want. In addition, whether you are recording audio on a budget or in a professional studio, the AS34 features an advanced mounting design that allows for maximum positioning stability even when using economy mic stands. Most podcasters use cardioid microphones. However, cardioid microphones are susceptible to capturing sound bouncing off the walls or from other hosts. Acoustic shields help shield microphones from recording environmental noises and focus on just the audio sources in front of the mic. Musicians will always have an issue with recording in small spaces with reverberation and sound balancing issues. Acoustic shields help eliminate recording noise from instruments, so vocal audio is crisp and clear. Voice Artists need to ensure that the microphone they are using captures their unique tones and inflections. Acoustic shields can prevent audio noise from bouncing off walls and devices behind the microphone, which helps to reduce the amount of effort a mic needs to pick up your voice. Use acoustic shields to give your recording that extra bit of polish.
