Description
Introducing the sE Electronics guitaRF, an innovative solution for isolating guitar cabinet sounds without the need for an expensive isolation booth. Designed to reduce stage bleed into guitar mics, it's a game-changer for both live performances and studio recordings.
This versatile acoustic shield is similar to the best-selling RF-X Reflexion Filter from sE, boasting a four-layer acoustic filter design. This includes an outer composite panel, a layer of acoustic-grade wool, an air gap for low-frequency isolation, and an inner layer of acoustic foam.
Its unique design features an integrated pass-through hole with a rubber-finned grip that securely holds virtually any dynamic or small-capsule mic. A double-cable clip is also included to keep your mic cables in place and prevent accidental tugs that could disrupt your setup.
But it's not just for guitar amps. The guitaRF can be used on keyboard amps, kick drums, hi-hat or snare isolation, vocal double miking, and acoustic guitars, making it an essential tool for any musician.
Key Features:
- Four-layer acoustic filter design for optimal sound isolation
- Integrated pass-through hole with rubber-finned grip to hold dynamic or small-capsule mics
- Double-cable clip to prevent cable disruption
- Versatile application: suitable for guitar amps, keyboard amps, drums, vocals, and more.
- Easy to use and install, with no need for an expensive isolation booth
- Patented acoustic filter technology from renowned manufacturer, sE Electronics.

"We felt that by adding the sE filter to our bass mic setup, it would clear up some of the drum bleed - which it did very nicely. This is a useful product, simply and elegantly executed. Thanks sE."

"I’ve been using a ribbon mic on Trey’s guitar since 2009 and I love it, but I wanted to improve the sonic quality, so we bought a guitaRF. What a difference it made. The guitar came into focus, had more punch and a level of isolation was achieved that had been missing due to the nature of a ribbon. Definitely a tool worth having!"

Specified by production manager and monitor engineer Nick Weber on Flogging Molly's sE Electronic artist page.
For the guitar set-up, we are running a 4x10 with an 18W satellite amplifier, alongside a 2x12 with a 20W satellite amplifier. I’m using the sE8 alongside a ribbon mic in the guitaRF on the 4x12, and a VR1 on the second guitar cab.

"The guitaRFs are versatile, compact and robust. I use fewer mic stands, mounts etc. - and I don’t have to worry about nasty reflections. The way I look at the guitaRFs, it’s not just for guitar amps. I like to get creative. I’m looking forward to trying one live in front of the drummers resonate head as well."
"I notice the reduction of spillover the most when I’m mixing shows in post. I imagine if we were to A/B the filters on and off for MMJ, it would dramatically change the frequencies in their ear mixes. I have not tried this, but the closest would be a late night promo show like Fallon or Colbert where as we use very little of our audio package and only backline. The outcome is usually subpar compared to what they've become accustomed to hearing in their in ears with our setup."
