Auralex has revolutionised microphone isolation technology with the launch of their MudGuard v2, featuring an innovative convex design that fundamentally changes how acoustic shields perform. Unlike traditional flat and concave shields that focus unwanted energy towards the microphone and cause colouration issues, this patent-pending multi-radii convex shape actively diverts off-axis acoustic energy away from the recording source.
The MudGuard v2’s solid, non-perforated back panel provides maximum sound isolation by blocking reflected sound from the recording environment reaching the microphone. This design approach minimises excessive room ambiance while filtering unwanted overtones, creating a cleaner recording environment. The shield incorporates Auralex® Studiofoam® for superior absorption performance.
Built for professional versatility, the MudGuard v2 mounts easily to most microphone stands with included hardware that allows users to adjust microphone proximity as needed. Measuring 16” wide x 10” deep x 14” tall, this redesigned solution offers unsurpassed performance among microphone shields for any recording environment.
