Auralex Mudguard Studiofoam studio microphone isolation

General

Ambient noise and acoustics can really mess up your recordings, the latter most of all. Luckily, Auralex designed the Mudguard. It's perfect for studios where acoustic treatment is difficult or where ambient noise has a big chance of ruining your recordings. Assemble the Mudguard in mere moments and you'll have crystal-clear recordings.

Function of the Mudguard

The Mudguard consists of a special foam construction that's fitted on a metal frame. This foam construction surrounds your studio microphone and eliminates external noise as much as possible. Acoustics can be very important when recording vocals, for instance. Especially in small rooms with lots of equipment. Fans, for instance, make a lot of noise, and you absolutely don't want to hear that in your recordings. Besides, not every room can be fitted with acoustic reflection or absorbing material, either for financial or practical reasons.

Using the Mudguard

If you already have a microphone stand and a studio microphone, the Mudguard is mounted in the blink of an eye. Simply screw the Mudguard's metal frame to your microphone stand and a horizontal metal slides will give you flexible options for your studio microphone. Place it close to you, far away... Just experiment with the position and experience better recordings!
