I will use my new Rode NT2-A Studio Condenser mic in my studio this week-end, installed in the SE Reflection Filter.
I purchased it for use in my treated entrance hall/"vocal booth", but so far I have only been doing live tracking in the main room.
The mic itself is still in the box, but the suspension mount and pop filter are on the SE Reflection Filter, just looking good.
I will stick in front of "The Shed" my lead guitarist/vocalist and see how it performs in the main room. John.

I wasn't a good idea to obscure "The Shed's" face with the SE-Reflection Filter, when rehearsing new material.
I need to sync with his vocal timing when I sing the harmony's, so we went back to the SM58 on a normal stand.
I will wait until our new guest female vocalist, Sam, visits my studio for a rehearsal, before using the Rode. Even then, she will probably use the "vocal booth" as we rehearse at gig volume. John.

Finally, I got to use the superb Rode NT2A Studio Mic mounted on the SE Reflection Filter for some serious vocals.
I really like the very detailed and natural sound of this mic.
Dave Anderson added a guide vocal to his first album track in my studio, after we had added all of his remaining guitar parts in this third session.
Dave will not sing on the final production, as his niece Helen will be singing main vocal, so this was just for her to practice to.
The mic was set up in the main room, so as my drum kit was still set-up ready for my band's rehearsal tomorrow, I chucked an old bed quilt over it to stop it reacting to the vocals.
The cymbals and tom heads react very easily to a loud vocal and even the reflection filter can't prevent it completely.
Dave is very pleased with my drumming, which I finished on the second session, after replacing his guide backing track and he is very happy with the progress.
