Auralex Acoustics, Inc. is now shipping its updated MudGuard v2 microphone shield, which “isolates mics by eliminating external noise bleed and filtering out external overtones.”

This design “is engineered for maximum effectiveness using Auralex Studiofoam to reduce excessive room ambience and off-axis sound,” according to a press release from Auralex announcing its availability.
 
The Auralex MudGuard v2 features a patent-pending multi-radii convex shape, which is designed “to direct any unwanted and off-axis acoustic energy away from the microphone,” according to the press release.

Most flat and concave microphone shields focus energy toward the microphone, causing unwanted colorations. The non-perforated, solid back on the MudGuard v2 “allows for maximum sound isolation by blocking sound from the recording environment, through the shell, to the microphone,” according to Auralex’s announcement.

The included hardware allows the MudGuard v2 to easily mount to most microphone stands and allows the user the flexibility to adjust the microphone proximity.

Here are a few feature highlights of the Auralex MudGuard v2:

  • Internal convex shape minimizes sound energy focusing on the microphone
  • Decreases external noise while filtering unwanted overtones
  • Reduce excessive room ambiance and off-axis sound for increased microphone isolation
  • Engineered with Auralex Studiofoam for maximum effectiveness
  • Mounts easily to most microphone stands
  • Dimensions: 16 inches wide x 10 inches deep x 14 inches tall
