Primacoustic VoxGuard (Quantity 1)The Primacoustic VoxGuard is a portable acoustic screen designed to reduce the ambient noise around a microphone when recording. This helps to eliminate excess echo and reverb, allowing the engineer to reintroduce the desired effects during mixing or post-production.The VoxGuard features high-density open cell acoustic foam that provides maximum absorption throughout the vocal range. An extra large high impact ABS outer shell keeps unwanted noise out, while innovative slotted ports prevent excess bass buildup and resonance commonly associated with stand-mounted absorbers. Once mounted, a rear access cable port allows any hand held or studio microphone to be articulated and directed at a specific source. Note: We sell the VoxGuard without the plastic window screen as the latter causes unwanted reflections and we do not stock the VoxGuard with the plastic window. We prefer to sell the solid VoxGuard without the reflective plastic screen window.The VoxGuard is lightweight and easy to use. The outer shell simply slides over the threads of the microphone stand and is held in place by the clip, shock mount, or included threaded adapters. For additional flexibility, an extension bar is included for infinite mic placement possibilities. The lightweight design and simple mounting hardware makes positioning the VoxGuard easy without the usual fear of the stand falling over and damaging the microphone. The VoxGuard can also be used as a portable acoustic gobo in front of amplifiers, acoustic instruments, or anywhere that basic isolation is required. This makes it and ideal tool for recording studios, film and television, pod casting, and mobile recording.

PRIMACOUSTIC RECOIL RX5 HF (1 pair)Designed for nearfield monitors, the Primacoustic Recoil Stabilizer™ is a unique speaker mounting device that at once eliminates disruptive resonant coupling from the loudspeaker to the stand, while providing a stable base that reduces the recoil caused by the forward energy of the loudspeaker motion. The Recoil Stabilizer is a loudspeaker platform that combines three basic   components: a high-density urethane foam base to isolate the speaker from the shelf, monitor-bridge or stand; a heavy ¼” laser-cut steel plate; and a thin neoprene top surface. The foam effectively decouples the loudspeaker to eliminate vibration-borne resonance that invariably introduces phase anomalies, while the steel plate introduces significant mass to the structure, stabilizing the speaker. The no-slip surface coats the top to ensure the monitor stays firmly in place. By reducing the backward 'recoil' as the speaker coil pushes energy forward, the initial transient no longer suffers lag and the sharpness of the resulting impulse is more defined. Upon first listening, one immediately notices more punch and extended low end. Upon further listening, one begins to notice greater detail at all frequencies, improved transient response and more defined depth of field. This not only makes mixing easier, but since the Recoils eliminate unknown resonance from contaminating the sound, your mixes immediately translate better to other rooms and audio systems.Recoil Stabilizer Features
- Improves transient response and imaging
- Tightens up the bass for greater accuracy
- Eliminates resonance and phase anomalies
- Improves translation to other audio systemsThe Science of the Recoil Stabilizer
Sound travels through air and other mediums in the form of waves. These waves compress at various frequencies called the wavelength. Longer wavelengths or low frequencies generally have more energy and tend to travel further while shorter wavelengths or high frequencies travel in a more direct line. Longer wavelengths require more energy to generate and once in motion, are very difficult to contain. With sufficient energy, long wavelengths will cause walls and floors to vibrate. Thunder shaking your house is a very good example of the tremendous energy that low frequencies can contain. Simply put, bass travels through just about anything while high frequencies are fairly simple to control. So what has all of this got to do with near field monitors or reference loudspeakers? Speakers produce bass frequencies that will transfer vibrations through the speaker stand to the floor, the walls and what ever else is physically connected to the speaker. This is called acoustic coupling. When sound vibrations couple with the speaker stands or the shelf, they resonate and produce unwanted sound coloration. To sum up, coupling causes a frequency bump at the resonant frequency which in turn changes the speaker's performance. What happens is that the resonance will either be in phase or be out of phase with the loudspeaker which will invariably  cause a frequency shift commonly known as comb-filtering. Engineers will attempt various solutions such as placing foam pads or other insulating materials under their near field reference monitors as a means to eliminate the acoustic resonance that occurs when the speaker and the shelf are coupled. Good news: this does in fact effectively decouple the two devices. Bad news: it introduces a new problem that is best described as recoil.Recoil - The New Problem
Think of a cannon firing. The power charge explodes propelling the projectile forward. As the projectile pushes forward the cannon recoils backwards to absorb the energy. This is exactly what is happening when you place your speakers on a soft spongy material: during a transient such as a sharp kick drum thump, the forward momentum of the speaker is dulled by the foam as the soft malleable substance allows the speaker to tilt backwards and recoil. This 'recoil' may be desirable when firing a cannon, but with a loudspeaker, the movement blurs the initial transient at the start of the wave, and the result is predictable: you lose clarity and detail. So instead of the bass resonating into the shelf causing low frequency disruption, it is now being lost via a thermodynamic transfer as the loudspeaker wiggles around on the foam. Essentially, you fix one problem while creating another. Solving the problem entails decoupling the loudspeaker from the stand while providing a stable platform so that the loudspeaker fires accurately - as it was designed to do. You invested in high performance monitors… it only makes sense that you hear what paid for!Recoils Stabilizers To The Rescue!
The Recoil Stabilizer begins with a high density isolation pad. Made from open cell acoustic foam, the isolation pad is sufficiently dense to hold the loudspeaker level while being soft and thick enough to provide the required isolation from the shelf or stand. We employ dark grey foam that is embedded with carbon to lessen the effects of oxidization and UV rays as a means to lengthen the foam’s life span. Stabilizing the loudspeaker is achieved by introducing a heavy mass on top of the isolation pad. By significantly increasing the mass of the base platform, the loudspeaker's forward momentum is no longer sufficient to move the platform backwards. It is stabilized and the recoil is significantly reduced. If you think about it, this is exactly how a gyroscope works. Gyros are used in airplanes, ships and torpedoes to stabilize the navigational system so that the device stays on course. By rotating a heavy mass very quickly (like the earth around itself - around the sun) the centrifugal force retains the gyro's position relative to all axes. Since we need only control the effect from the speaker excursion on a single axis (front to back) we do not need a centrifugal force to steady the device. We can achieve stability with a simple, heavy steel platform that acts as the stabilizing mass. The heavy platform is in turn, sandwiched between the isolation foam and a no-slip neoprene pad. The pad works double duty by providing the speaker with a comfortable place on which to sit while also working in sympathy with the bottom urethane foam and mass of the speaker to dampen the steel plate. To further reduce self-resonance, a curved front panel aids in the process by varying the impedance thus eliminating internal standing waves. This also adds more mass to the Recoil Stabilizer without increasing the size of the footprint.The Benefits of proper Isolation
When the loudspeaker manufacturer designed your near field monitors, they painstakingly ensured that the speaker enclosure was both rigid and heavy so that the energy being produced is maximized. They likely tested the loudspeaker on a large heavy slab of granite to ensure the base was rigid so that the resonance from the loudspeaker could not transmit into the granite block. And what do you do? You take your brand new near field monitors out of the box and put them on a stand, shelf, meter bridge, foam pad or bass trap. What happens? Simple: the loudspeaker was designed (tonally balanced) to sound right when placed on a solid, stable platform. By introducing variables that inevitably will resonate, not only have you gone away from the original sound that was intended, but you have introduced a tonal change in the form of resonance and phase.
