Primacoustic VoxGuard Microphone Isolation Screen

Primacoustic VoxGuard Microphone Ambient Noise Nearfield Absorber

VoxGuard by Primacoustic is light weight and extremely easy to use. It starts with a high-impact ABS outer surround shell that snugs onto the mic stand using an included adapter to hold it in place. Light weight design makes positioning the VoxGuard easy without the usual fear of the stand falling over.

VoxGuard is effective when used with round base stands, tripods and even with large studio booms. Once mounted, an innovative rear access cable port allows the microphone to be articulated and directed at a specific source, thus enabling the VoxGuard to also be used as an acoustic screen.

Acoustic magic is performed by a high-density open cell acoustic foam liner. This absorbs the voice range while keeping room ambiance out to produce a dry rendering. The VoxGuard is 50% larger than comparable products, noise flanking is significantly reduced and performance vastly improved.

Primacoustic VoxGuard is ideal for recording studio vocals, voice-over tracks for film and TV post production, pod casting and field reporting.

VoxGuard employs well known acoustic principles to minimize room ambiance from entering the microphone allowing a greater percentage of the source to be captured without the echo, reverb and resonance from the room.

Eliminating The Sound Of The Space

Put up a microphone in a room and hit 'record'. The sound of the voice will compete with the sound echoing off the walls. These are known as primary reflections, flutter echo and standing waves. These will invariably arrive at the microphone after the original sound and depending on how loud they are, will cause varying degrees of phase cancellation known as comb-filtering.

When singing into the microphone, sound is captured by the mic while a good percentage of sound breezes by. In space, this 'extra' sound would go forever without echo as there are no boundaries. In an anechoic test chamber, sound is completely absorbed as there are no hard reflective surfaces. In this case, the VoxGuard's high density open-cell acoustic panel absorbs much of the energy in the critical voice range.

VoxGuard's curved outer shield is designed to reflect unwanted energy away while the larger size—upwards to twice as big as others —reduces flanking. This effectively creates a boundary that stops sound from coming back into the mic, reducing the ambient effect.

Recording Vocals In The Control Room

The most common application for the VoxGuard is using it to control the spill and reverberant field in a recording studio. Simply mount the microphone in the VoxGuard and you are set to go. For greater acoustic control, having the artist’s back to a treated wall surface can further reduce the ambient field. Often, artists find that singing in the control room to be uncomfortable. The VoxGuard provides an instant vanity screen.

Isolating An Acoustic Guitar Instrument Microphone

VoxGuard’s innovative design allows an excellent means of attenuating other instruments from spilling into the mic. Mount the VoxGuard onto microphone stand and the mic onto the VoxGuard… point and record! With VoxGuard you hear more of what you want and less of what you do not!
