Stand-mounted microphone isolation panel minimizes wall reflections and comb filtering.

The Mic Thing is a portable multi-purpose acoustic treatment panel suitable for minimizing room artifacts and improving separation during microphone recording sessions. Great for a range of applications including helping to control room ambience, minimizing spill from instrument amplifiers, or even creating temporary control rooms the Mic Thing is certainly one handy thing!

Good microphone separation and isolation means a cleaner recording and a more controlled end result. Although the question of how much microphone separation is really necessary in any given situation, audio engineers around the world unanimously agree that if given the chance, they would rather be in control of these factors than not.

The Mic Thing is essentially a 2" (50mm)-thick acoustic tile housed inside an adjustable lightweight steel frame. Two screw clamps mean easy mounting to tube widths of up to 1" (25mm) diameter. Solid metal panels act as additional sound barriers. The absorbing panel is treated with Ultra-Fresh anti-microbial to control bacteria, mold, mildew, and fungi.

The Mic Thing's two winged panels can also be adjusted to create anything from a flat planar absorber to a tight semi-circle enclosing the microphone. This way, the amount of separation and absorption can be easily be manipulated to suit requirements. By tightening the wing panel attitude, greater isolation and a dryer sound can be achieved. Varying the mic position will also affect the result.

I love this thing. The one from the other company might look flashier, but it pretty much forces you to use its flimsy mic holder that comes up from below. With this, you just mount it to the stand, then use a boom over the panel like it should be. Anyway, the sound is so much cleaner and focused. Also unlike the other one you can pull the sides in closer if needed. The only thing is the knobs that you tighten are hard to keep tight sometimes and it can slip open a bit. I love this thing and it not only helps the sound but gives the studio a more serious look.

This is a great "room filter" and works well. Needs a big solid stand to be secure, but is worth it in my opinion. Vocals sound much more solid and clear. I looked at the other brand of these and while it looks cool, I didn't like the mic being mounted from underneath instead of over like most studios do. Anyway, I really love this thing and wouldn't record without it.

This thing is so cool, I use a Blue Bluebird with this and its Great. You can shape the curve of the sides and although it sometimes doesn't stay tight as it should you can fix that easily by being slightly creative. I looked at the other brand of these and didn't like the stand bracket or mic holder but loved this. I got the version that came with the stand, but that might have been a temporary promotion package. Either way its a great unit and isloates the mic from stray refections and such.
