PIB Portable Vocal Screen

Many portable acoustic screens or filters on the market rely on acoustic foam, which only absorbs treble frequencies while leaving lower-frequency reflections untreated. The PIB V2 is built with 5cm thick high quality absorbent material, offering broadband sound absorption across the full range of most human voices, eliminating unwanted reflections and reverb and ensuring a clear, natural sound. 

The PIB is much larger than a mic-stand mounted reflection filter or shield, which provide limited square footage of absorption around the microphone. The PIB V2 creates a much larger vocal isolation booth, allowing you to surround the performer with multiple PIBs as needed to minimize ambient noise and sound reflections and create a recording area as large as you need. This results in high-quality recordings that can rival those made in fully treated recording studios. Getting the room sound under control is often the secrete weapon in getting a good vocal sound. 

If you’re just starting out or working in a compact setup, one PIB is more than enough to make an easily noticeable improvement. Embrace the mindset of experimenting and listening to create different sounds. Adding a second or third PIB creates a more enclosed environment, expanding the absorption area and providing even better control. With multiple PIBs, you can more fully surround the performer in a semi-enclosed space. The real power of PIBs lies in their modular, portable design. If you’re recording larger instruments like upright bass, drums, or even string sections, you can continue adding PIBs to build a customized recording space. Arrange them in a circle for ensemble work or line them up as portable gobos between musicians to control bleed and reflections during live tracking. Because the PIB is freestanding and collapsible, it’s easy to move, reposition, or store when not in use.
