Room / Equipment guide

Portable vocal screens

Treat a reflection screen as one part of the recording geometry.

Updated · Editorial buying guide

Start with your setup

Test the microphone and singer at several distances from the screen. Listen for coloration and for reflections arriving from untreated directions. Account for the stand’s extra load and keep enough space for comfortable performance.

Choose for the session

Build a shortlist from the checks below, then compare the exact model manuals. A portable screen does not turn an untreated room into an isolated booth. Keep the source, monitoring path, and room consistent when comparing options. The broader acoustic treatment guide explains how this category fits the rest of the studio.
