Supposed to help with room ambience directly at the mic source.
I found this on the web.....

The sE Reflexion Filter is basically a portable device for recording live sources with reduced room ambience. It is an advanced composite wall which is positioned behind any microphone by means of a variable position stand clamp assembly which ships with the product. The main function is to help obtain a ‘dry’ vocal or instrument recording. This is especially useful in studios without proper acoustic treatment, but can also be used to help record takes in control rooms, where the performer also has to operate the recorder, or in rehearsal studios to reduce ambient noise.

These are supposed to attach directly to a standard mic stand and cost about $299 street.
Made of layers of aluminum and acoustic fibre...

They had one at the Sounds Expo show in London on Saturday.

I stuck my head in it and it seemed pretty dead. Whether it's worth $300 or not is debateable. You'd have to test one in proper conditions...
 
You could build a vocal booth out of rigid fiberglass/rockwool for well under $300.
 
However, for those of us at home who must be Engineer, Transport Operator and Performer at the same time, this item looks pretty darn interesting....
 
Anybody got a link for this. I would like get some more details....

If you have a place to park a vocal booth. ;)

That device looks like it might actually do something compared to the Auralex offering that seems more like a gimmick than a real treatment.

The thing is there is only so much a device like this can do. I doubt it would keep a loud HD sound out of a mic in a reflective room.

totally agreed. where something like this would come in handy is the guy singing vocal tracks in his apartment's bedroom.

much more than that, i can't really see it helping a whole lot--especially in a really ringy, nasty sounding room.

You could easily build one yourself. Alternatively, you could just buy one of Ethan Winer's 2x4 ft. Real Traps for less than $200, clamp it to a mic stand for under $15... AND you'll have an awesome bass trap for many other uses around the studio.
