The Perfect Position

The ‘perfect position’ to achieve a ‘dry’ recording is to place of the microphone so that the mic capsule sits

centrally (both vertically and horizontally) in relation to the face of the Reexion Filter (the face is the convex side

with coloured panels). It is also important to have the mic capsule of the correct distance from the face of the

Reexion Filter. The mic capsule should sit roughly level with the front edges of the lter where the curved wall

ends.

Having said all that, you CAN use the Reexion Filter

to achieve dierent eects by experimenting with

positioning. Moving the mic into the face of the

Reexion Filter will give a ‘darker’ and more ‘dead’

sounding recording, but it will also aect the polar

pattern response of the mic, so the mic will perform

slightly dierently. Again, in most cases this would be

undesirable, but this method of use can create some cool

results… try micing an electric guitar cab this way, it can

sound great!

Moving the mic further away will mean there is more

room ambience recorded with the dry source. Again, this

is not usually desirable but can be used to get a specic

‘room sound’ without the room taking over completely!

The Reexion Filter can be used not only for recording

vocals and acoustic guitars etc, but as outlined above,

you can experiment to nd new applications like the

guitar cab mic’ing we suggested above. We’d love to hear

from you with your own novel applications, so please

to let us know what you think of the product, and how

you are using it.

Thanks again, and we hope you enjoy the results of your

new toy!
