It's worth the 300 bucks. You're gonna need a heavy duty mic stand though. While my lighter elcheapo stand would hold it up it was just too unstable one slight bump may send it and your mic crashing to the floor.

As far as the sound goes I must say I'm impressed. Tried it out in treated and untreated rooms. Made a differance in both bigger differance in the untreated room however. In the treated room you could hear the filter start to shine when stacking vocals.

Okay enough of my review.

BTW... It's an honest reveiw of the product I don't work for SE.
 
This is good news for someone like me who will probably be living in different apartments for the next several years...now I just need to save the dough
 
That sounds pretty cool. This thing caught my interest a while back too.

Have you tried it with acoustic guitar? Wonder if there might be some benefit to that?

Not yet gotta find a guitar player willing to be a guinea pig.
 
I'd do it if I were closer. Funny thing is, I once lived in Houston.

Keep us posted.
 
Maybe a solution to the stand tipping over thing. Go to a local sports store and buy a 10 pount donut weight. Slide it down to the base and ding! A stand that won't fall over! I did this for two of my stands that I use for overheads.
 
Hmmmm. More options. Does anybody know what the differences in materials used on these might be?
 
Nice to hear from someone who's using one of these. I've been thinking of getting one myself.

I record vocals at home once in a blue moon to be honest, but when I do it's Duvet City. :) The result is ok, but I'd be interested in getting one of these, to avoid building a booth.

Thanks,

A47.

I do. :D

Our portable vocal booth is a pair of large highly absorbent panels. The point is to absorb the sound as you sing into it, so it doesn't get out into the room in the first place. This is much more effective than trying to block sound that's allowed to bounce around in the room. The Se RF is not really an absorber, and it's not large enough to block sound very effectively either.

We did a side by side comparison of our PVB and the Se RF, but it's not linked publicly on our site to avoid "offending" RF owners. But since you asked, look here:

Thanks for the reply Ethan. And yes, I saw the "controversial" thread on the other board about this comparison test. I think they may have skewered you unfairly.

About the PVB: I know it's intended use is vocals, but it appears large enough to be of some value when recording acoustic guitar. What do you think?

I believe the ModTraps are using OC703. Is something similar used for the PVB? Or foam? Is it a comination of materials? Or is this giving away trade secrets? ;) Is it effective in the lower registers also, or just knocking down the highs.
 
Tom,

Yeah, it's obvious from all the venom those guys were either from Se Electronics or they were shills for them.

Sure.

> I believe the ModTraps are using OC703. Is something similar used for the PVB? Or foam? Is it a comination of materials? <

Yes, combination. It's effective down to about 200 or 300 Hz.
