"SAVE YOUR CASH AND BUILD ONE YOURSELF"

Feature:
This design of this thing is curious. It isn't as adjustable as I was led to believe. The isolation foam does not always stay in the position I bend it around the mic I'm using even with the knobs tightly engaged. Also, the mic stand they make you purchase with this is cheap. The glued piece that connects the boom to the stand broke right away as I was mounting my mic thing. I ended up using a PA speaker stand and it attached more easily and was stronger than the included mic stand.

Quality:
Not the quality I was expecting for more than $200.

Value:
This thing should be $75-$100 cheaper.

Overall:
I bought this to use for isolating vocals in my small, but way too echo-y project studio. I should have just built one myself.

About This Product!
Description
The Mic Thing is a portable multi-purpose acoustic treatment panel suitable for minimizing room artifacts and improving separation during microphone recording sessions. Great for a range of applications including helping to control room ambience, minimizing spill from instrument amplifiers, or even creating temporary control rooms the Mic Thing is certainly one handy thing!

Good microphone separation and isolation means a cleaner recording and more controlled end result. Although the question of how much microphone separation is really necessary in any given situation, audio engineers around the world unanimously agree that if given the chance, they would rather be in control of these factors than not.

The Mic Thing can be mounted on just about any microphone, drum, or speaker stand up to 1 in. (25mm) in diameter. The Mic Thing’s 2 winged panels can also be adjusted to create anything from a flat planar absorber to a tight semi circle enclosing the microphone. This way, the amount of separation and absorption can be easily be manipulated to suit requirements.

By Tightening the wing panel attitude, greater isolation and a dryer sound can be achieved. Varying the mic position will also affect the result.
