The Sterling Vocal Microphone Shield (VMS) is designed to reduce unwanted room reflections and improve clarity when recording vocals, acoustic instruments, and guitar amplifiers. Its combination of acoustic absorption and diffusion helps create a cleaner, more focused sound—even in rooms without extensive acoustic treatment.
Cleaner Vocal Recordings
Deep foam ribs absorb high- and mid-frequency reflections, while the perforated rear shield helps diffuse lower-frequency energy. This reduces room coloration and allows your microphone to capture a more direct, natural vocal sound with improved clarity and isolation.
Guitar Amp Isolation
The VMS is also ideal for close-miking guitar amplifiers. Remove the adjustable mounting bracket and position the shield around your microphone to help control surrounding reflections and minimize bleed into other microphones or recording channels.
Acoustic Guitar Recording
Recording acoustic guitar can be challenging due to reflections from both the instrument and the room. The Sterling VMS creates a more controlled area around the microphone, helping produce cleaner, more detailed acoustic guitar tracks with improved articulation.
A versatile solution for achieving cleaner, more professional recordings without the need for a fully treated recording space.
