Desktop Isolation Filter with Stand

Thank you for choosing Auray.

The Auray RF-DT-10 Isolation Filter will improve the audio quality of desktop productions by helping to capture clean vocal recordings in acoustically untreated rooms like a home studio or office. Whether your recording podcasts, remote broadcasts, or voiceovers, the filter isolates your microphone and absorbs unwanted acoustic reflections and ambient noise. High-density acoustic foam lets sound waves pass through, and the vented shell prevents the sound from reflecting back into the microphone, for a close and dry sound that’s preferred by professionals.

The adjustable desktop stand and mounting bracket let you position the microphone and filter at the perfect height and distance from the source to ensure the best sound for your recording or broadcast. The included 5/8-27 adapter provides compatibility with most shock mounts and mic clips.
