This week, the crew takes a hard look at reflection filters — those curved bits of foam and metal you often see sitting behind microphones.
Do they really make your recordings sound better, or are they just clever marketing?
George "The Tech" Whittam, Robbo, Robert Marshall, and Andrew Peters break down what reflection filters actually do (and don't do), why they often make voiceovers sound worse, and what to invest in instead if you want to improve your room sound.
From the SE Electronics RF-X to the Aston Halo, the team compares designs, materials, and real-world results — and offers smarter, more effective alternatives for both travelling and home setups.
