Instruccions de funcionament

The Aokeo Microphone Isolation Shield is designed to create a more controlled recording environment by reducing ambient noise and controlling sound reflections.

  • Position the shield around your microphone, ensuring the sound-absorbing foam faces the sound source (e.g., your mouth when speaking or singing).
  • Adjust the side panels to enclose the microphone as much as possible without obstructing your performance or view. This helps to capture direct sound and absorb reflections from the sides.
  • The high-density EVA foam sponge with sharp walls effectively reduces sound reflection and diffuses sound waves, creating a better recording environment.
