Thank you for choosing Auray.

The Auray RF-C12 Professional Desktop Isolation Filter provides music producers, broadcasters, and podcasters with a desktop solution for advanced microphone isolation. It's designed with multilayered acoustic treatment that absorbs unwanted ambient noise and controls acoustic reflections. When recording vocals, voiceovers, or podcasts in acoustically untreated rooms, the RF-C12 helps create clean and dry recordings.

The filter employs a layer of acoustic composite fiber to absorb unwanted noise. A vented molded-polymer shield offers natural and open-sounding recordings while preventing bounce-back reflections. The RF-C12 sets up with the included desktop stand to isolate and minimize vibrations, whether it's in a standard or inverted configuration.
