ISO-Armor-2 Microphone Isolation Chamber

The AURAY ISO-Armor-2 Microphone Isolation Chamber is a game changer for clean, focused recordings. It effectively reduces room noise and echo, giving vocals and instruments a much tighter, studio-quality sound. The foam is dense and well-shaped, and the build feels sturdy and professional. Setup was simple — fits most standard mic stands perfectly — and the interior provides plenty of space for the microphone without feeling cramped. The difference in audio clarity is immediately noticeable. For home studios, podcasters, or mobile recording setups, this is an outstanding piece of gear.

Outstanding product! I needed a solution for the most difficult, almost imperceptible audio 'noise' for my professional voice over recordings with my professional mic. This product takes the place of thousands of dollars of soundproofing. If you need to have professional soundproofing and your budget is not huge, this is the answer. I absolutely love the quality of the build, the ease of installation and the ease of use. Plus, the shiny chrome finish is nice to look at. Couple of notes: Even though this is not heavy, you DO need a boom that will hold a larger or weightier mic. A cheap, lower-quality boom will not hold this. You CAN use this from a hanging position if needed. The pop shield is a nice touch and can be used or not. You will still get great soundproofing regardless. *Note: There is a setscrew that secures the pop shield from removal, so you need to be aware of it before trying to slide the shield up (see picture). I did not know about the setscrew when I first tried to slide the pop shield up and I got frustrated (my bad). But it's easy to loosen with no tools, so no worries. OVERALL, this is a terrific product and terrific solution to ANY unwanted noises when you record. I love mine. Much more economical than spending 30K on soundproofing the entire room. Love it! Highly recommend!

Love this. I have a studio but with this I can be in the comfort of my home to do some quick recording. This eliminates the reverb from the walls. I use it all the time. Could be an always fit depending on your mic. I use TLM 103 but I haven’t tried it with my other mic. So far works great.

I've been using this product for a year now, and it hasn't failed me yet. I make videos on gaming as a hobby; nothing too extravagant in both set-up and equipment used. The Auray Iso-Armor-2 comes in handy as it would have cost me more to purchase enough acoustic tiles to treat my room. Not to mention I'm not in the position to be altering my room in such a fashion; even if it's just smacking a bunch of foam on the walls. That said, this does a great job cutting out surrounding and background noise. Great example: my dad is a pretty loud talker. My bedroom with the door closed, and I can still hear him past a wall and a door on his computer roughly 25-30 ft away. Without this, my mic would easily pick up his voice. With this, you can easily miss it if you didn't know the background noise existed! So it definitely does the job of protecting the mic from background noise. I've also used it whenever I had to be in online meetings. My neighborhood has it's random bouts of loud noises; revving cars or kids screaming their lungs out in the streets. As it is with my dad's voice; you can barely hear those background noises unless you were actively paying attention for such instances. Unfortunately, it does go for $100. On the expensive side for most, I'm sure; but it does cost less to purchase enough acoustic foam tiles to smack onto your walls. And on the plus, it's effectiveness and sturdiness do somewhat make up for the pricing; though I only bought it because it was on sale and I had gift cards. Another con is the size. There's no denying the Iso-Armor-2 is a bulky boy! It would require a pretty sturdy mic stand to withstand the weight and size; something that Auray does sell. However, a good workaround I've been using is simply a delivery box with a hole cut out from the top so that the bottom of a mic can fit through. It makes for a pretty sturdy, if not somewhat bulky, stand and costs practically nothing as you're just recycling a delivery box of adequate size. Overall, it's a pretty sturdy and reliable piece of equipment. It does the only job it's tasked to do; to block out or severely cut down on background noises. The price is somewhat steep, but it's effectiveness and sturdy construction somewhat justifies the pricing. And as for a stand, just use an adequately sized delivery box.

For the price it’s really good. I think it could be built more professional for an ultimate experience with high quality materials for a superior design. but it is a daily essential and you will be satisfied.

Let me start by talking about the only con: take the shock mount out of the bottom in order to properly set this up. I use an AT4040 and it was not easy to set up. I used the extra rubber bands to secure it my own way. After that, it was sturdy. - Aside from that, this is a very nice piece of equipment to have if you do not have a treated room to record. Even in a treated room I would still use this for its perks. Does it work? If you’re looking to get professional treated vocal booth level silence for your recordings, it obviously isn’t going to give you that, but this thing drastically improved my recording conditions after I moved and had to record in an untreated room. It not only decreases background noise, but it helps bring more accuracy to your vocals. What I mean by that is, it increases the strength of your vocals by refusing to let the sound escape in multiple directions during recording. If recording vocals, it helps the mic pick up the sound directly while deadening the noise and air around it. This makes the vocal come through fuller and clearer. I could go on about why I really enjoy having this little tool, but I’ll make it very clear for those unfamiliar with how these things work.. It will help make your vocals clearer, fuller and eliminate a good amount of background noise and unwanted reverb, echo and feedback.

Way too heavy. I can't fit the mic's shock mount inside. It shows that it comes with one, but it did not.

Love it...its heavy for some mic placement but does its job

Je voulais passer des auditions en voix off, mais on me disait toujours que j'avais trop de reverb. J'avais pas le budget pour faire des rénovations, mais ce petit bijou ma littéralement sauvé la peau et j'ai passé les tests d'admission haut la main grâce à cette merveille.

I like that it comes with shock absorption in mind. Ease of setup is also a huge Plus+ !

Es una excelente herramienta para grabar vocales sin embargo no esperes tener un sonido muerto completamente, Cumple la función de aislar el sonido Pero no al 100% como en una cabina

Doit être utilisé avec un shockmount approprié, mais fait très bien le travail. Je vois une bonne différence!

Excelente producto, materiales resistentes, lo que si es que es muy pesado para ponerlo sobre un brazo, la base tiene que ser firme y de mayor peso como un pedestal, buscar una araña que sea resistente también porque sino el peso le va a vencer... Es ideal para transportar pero igual se recomienda algún tipo de funda para no dañar la cabina, cumple con su función. Lo recomiendo sin duda ...
