Thank you for purchasing the Reexion Filter‘portable vocal booth’.
The main idea behind this product is to facilitate‘dry’ vocal recordings, in other words
to achieve a vocal recording which has greatly reduced room ambience. Of course, the
same Reexion Filter can be used to achieve similar results whilst recording various live
instruments, for isolating vocals in rehearsal studios and probably a host of things we
haven’t thought of yet too! We’d be very interested to hear about novel applications from
you, so please do contact us with your ideas, we are always glad to listen as it helps us
improve and develop the product, and the information we can supply to other sE users.
Your Reexion Filter carries a 2 year manufacturing warranty, with free replacement of
parts in case of mechanical failure due to faulty components. This warranty does not cover
failures deemed to be as a result of misuse or abuse of the Reexion Filter. If properly used
and looked after, it should last a lifetime of recording use.
You can extend your free 2 year warranty to three years by registering your product
at www.seelectronics.com, so please visit the site and leave your details. You can also
subscribe to the sE newsletter which we email out once every few months (don’t worry,
we won’t pass your details on to anyone else, and we won’t bombard you with SPAM!)
One last thing… please read this assembly manual to get the best results from your
Reexion Filter… mic positioning, and the stand clamp assembly are critical to getting
best results.
Thank you again, and we look forward to hearing from you,

The Perfect Position
The ‘perfect position’to achieve a ‘dry’ recording is to place the microphone so that the mic capsule sits
centrally (both vertically and horizontally) in relation to the face of the Reexion Filter (the face is the
convex side with coloured panels). It is also important to have the mic capsule of the correct distance
from the face of the Reexion Filter. The mic capsule should sit roughly level with the front edges of the
lter where the curved wall ends.
Having said all that, you CAN use the
Reexion Filter to achieve dierent
eects by experimenting with
positioning. Moving the mic into the
face of the Reexion Filter will give
a ‘darker’ and more ‘dead’ sounding
recording, but it will also aect the
polar pattern response of the mic, so
the mic will perform slightly dierently.
Again, in most cases this would be
undesirable, but this method of use can
create some cool results… try micing an
electric guitar cab this way, it can sound
great!
Moving the mic further away will mean
there is more room ambience recorded
with the dry source. Again, this is not
usually desirable but can be used to
get a specic ‘room sound’ without the
room taking over completely!
The Reexion Filter can be used not
only for recording vocals and acoustic
guitars etc, but as outlined above, you
can experiment to nd new applications like the guitar cab mic’ing we suggested above. We’d love
to hear from you with your own novel applications, so please contact us via the main web site, www.
seelectronics.com, to let us know what you think of the product, and how you are using it.
Thanks again, and we hope you enjoy the results of your new Reexion Filter!
