Introduction
Thank you for choosing Auray.
Congratulations on your purchase of the Auray RF-CPB-18 Reflection Filter.
This lightweight and sturdy reflection filter is an ideal solution for any
recording application where microphone isolation is needed. Designed for
use in studios, acoustically untreated rooms, and desktop recording, the
RF-CPB-18 absorbs and diffuses external noise and room reflections to create
a drier and closer sound that provides cleaner vocal tracks.
High-density open-cell acoustic foam minimizes room ambiance, and the
curved shape of the shield ensures clean and dry vocals. Locking adjustable
brackets and sturdy metal mounting hardware provide easy height and
depth adjustment and ensure that the shield will be at the precise height and
distance from the microphone for optimum results. Standard 5/8" threaded
adapters fit most microphone clips and shock mounts, making the
RF-CPB-18 compatible with most mic stands. The durable ABS plastic frame
is lightweight yet rigid, making the RF-CPB-18 portable and able to withstand
the rigors of transportation.
The professional musician, broadcaster, and podcaster will find that the
RF-CPB-18 Reflection Filter is a valuable studio accessory that will improve
the quality of recordings by providing isolation for vocals and voiceovers.

Instructions
Assembling the RF-CPB-18
1. On a flat surface, place the shield upside
down with the foam side toward you so
that the threaded stud on the edge of the
shield points up.

2. Place the sliding mounting bracket over
the threaded mount of the shield so that
the rim of the plastic surrounding the stud
fits snuggly into the slot of the sliding
mounting bracket.
3. Place the washer over the sliding mounting bracket and threaded
stud, and screw in the locking wheel.
Mounting the RF-CPB-18 onto a Microphone Stand
1. Securely screw in the large 5/8" adapter
onto the threaded stud of your mic stand.

If the mic stand already has a star nut or
flange, you can use it instead of the large
5/8" adapter described in this step.
2. Turn the shield assembly upright, and
place the slot of the sliding mounting
bracket over the threaded stud of the large
5/8" adapter. Make sure the shield faces
the adapter.
3. Secure the sliding mounting bracket and
shield assembly to the threaded stud with
the small 5/8" adapter by screwing it onto
the threaded stud of the large 5/8" adapter.

If the star nut is supporting the sliding mounting bracket, secure it
with the large 5/8" adapter.
4. Attach the mic stand nut to the threaded stud.
5. Before proceeding make sure all connections are secure and the
RF-CPB-18 is not unstable on the mic stand.
