Posted by Acoustics First in Absorption, DIY, HOW TO, Recording Studio, Video, Vocal Booth, Voice Over on May 1, 2015
Stuff you need: Glue, Binder and Foam
Acoustics First understands that the Do-it-Yourself spirit in the audio world is alive and well, and here is another one of our contributions to that community.
The personal mic shield… all you need is…
- Foam safe Glue
- a One inch thick, three ring binder
- two 1 foot x 1 foot pieces of foam
- 2 Minutes
Got everything together?
Do you have 2 minutes?
Let’s do this!
Watch the video…
Or follow the steps…
Open the Binder
Open the binder and bend the bottom tab flat.
 |
 |
Spray the Binder and the back of the foam with glue.
 |
 |
Wait for a few seconds for the glue to get tacky, then carefully stick the foam to the binder – be sure to apply pressure to allow for a strong bond.
 |
Give the glue some time to dry.
After the glue sets, slide the rings of the binder over a bare mic stand – the top tab will hold the shield up.
All Done! Just set up your mic and you’re ready to go!
Complete Mic Shield with Microphone.

Recent Acoustics First article on PUPN!
Sometimes you enter a space that sounds amazing and wonder what treatments are being used. Many times the treatments are behind the curtain… both figuratively and in reality.
Learn about some of the ways acoustic treatments are hidden in plain sight, obscured from view, camouflaged, or just displayed proudly – Nick Colleran points out the not so obvious.
You just might find – you get what you need.

DIY Gift idea using Tone Tiles™ and some Creativity!
Acoustics First would like to offer this Do-It-Yourself gift idea to all of our readers this year.
If you’ve got a creative painting habit, give a customized gift that not only shows your creative talents, but also helps to improve the sound of the room!
Above is a festive holiday painting on one of our 1’x2′ Tone Tiles™.
Want to go a little bigger? We also have 2’x3′ Tone Tiles™ in Stock.

A Second Idea is to get a photo printed on a Tone Tile™.
How about “posting” that photo to the “wall” of your living room, and have a great conversation piece as well as improved acoustics – at the same time !
Season’s Greetings and Happy Gift Giving!

* Don’t forget to ask your local printer if they have flatbed printing capabilities.
