sE Electronics SPACE (refleksjonsfilter)

SPACE = "Specialized Portable Acoustic Control Environment"

sE har lenge vært kjente for å lage meget gode refleksjonsfiltere, og nå har de lagt lista ENDA høyere.

Dette er en enkel, men genial løsning for deg som vil gjøre proffe(re) vokalopptak, uten å måtte lage en egen "vokalbås". Ikke minst er den portabel, noe som gir deg muligheter langt utover hjemmet/studioet.

Denne er enda mindre sensitiv for rommets akustikk og klang, og gir deg full kontroll over resultatet.

OBS: Det kan være lurt å ikke ha noen rette/glatte flater bak seg når man skal ta opp. På den annen side; Ikke vær redd for å eksperimentere!

Brand new for 2014, sE has raised the bar again with its latest addition to the classic Reflexion Filter lineup: SPACE.
The RF SPACE (Specialized Portable Acoustic Control Environment) marks another step forward for the professional tracking engineer.

With a larger surface area, enhancement of sE’s patented multi-layer technology, deeper air gaps, and more efficient materials, the SPACE offers even better full-bandwidth absorption, isolation, and diffusion than its predecessor, the wildly popular industry-standard RF PRO.

Each SPACE filter is hand-built by our team at the sE factory - not mass-produced by an army of machines - and made to last for years and years of recording.

New specialized mounting hardware allows the SPACE to be easily mounted on any microphone stand or drum hardware, with a full range of motion – adjustable and lockable horizontally, vertically, and tilted at any angle.

This makes the SPACE utterly stable and effective in any recording environment.

USER QUOTES
"SPACE is a hit; we're big fans of the RF Pro, and count it as an essential studio tool for providing additional acoustic isolation around vocal and string recordings - but there's no doubt that SPACE does the job even better. On test recordings, we noticed cleaner results even less influenced by our studio's natural acoustic reflections, which made mixing them more immediately creative, with fewer 'corrective' EQ changes required."

"A number of imitation 'reflexion filters' have come to market since sE's original but very few actually do what they're supposed to, which is to improve acoustics around recordings. SPACE absolutely underlines sE's status as the market leader in this field."

on the Reflexion Filter Series:
"Everyone should have one."

- Ryan Hewitt, Producer/Engineer (Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Avett Brothers, Flogging Molly)
"The Reflexion Filter makes a huge difference in small recording spaces that are more and more the norm..."

- Andy Bradfield, Producer (David Bowie, David Gray, Rufus Wainwright)
"Trust me, they will change your recording process for the better."

- Ricky Lawson, Drummer (Michael Jackson, Quincy Jones, Whitney Houston)
"After using this, I instantly realized how many problems I had in my booth, because all of a sudden they weren't there anymore."

"As far as clarity is concerned, the filter made the biggest difference."

"Everybody should get this product if you're thinking about recording anything. Because it's going to take you to the next level of professional and quality recordings."

"Best option on the market other than an actual vocal booth/room."

"It did two things: one, made capturing my instrument's true sound much easier, and two, saved me lots of money."

"I was pretty skeptical when I bought this, but I finally gave in after listening closely to recordings I've made in my living room. I would now say that this is a must have for any project studio with an untreated room."

"You need this even if you don't think you do. Bottom line: I didn't know how good my equipment could sound until I got this little fellow."

How does it work?

What goes on inside a Reflexion Filter Pro.
When you put a microphone in front of you, it doesn't just hear you - it hears the room around you.

Even if it's a cardioid mic and is listening mostly to just you, it's still picking up reflections from your voice or instrument that are bouncing off the walls and coming back to the mic. The goal of acoustic treatment is to minimize the pickup of such reflections so your primary sound source comes through as pure as possible.

So why not just put some cardboard or foam behind the mic?

Some materials are good at absorbing or reflecting particular frequencies - for example, foam absorbs highs really well, but does nothing for lows.

sE's patented multi-layer technologies absorb frequencies evenly across the whole frequency spectrum.

This is what makes the Reflexion Filter unique, and makes it the choice of the biggest recording artists in the world - whether they're working in untreated rooms, or working in a professionally-designed studio and just need a little more isolation.


Where should I use it?

We did a quick search, and came across hundreds of ways our filters are being used. Isolation between a guitar and a vocal, the ultimate portable setup, additional treatment in a professionally-designed room, a pop-up bedroom studio - these are just a few images from users around the world.

When you need studio-grade sound without a studio, you need a Reflexion Filter .
