The wrap around feature of the sE seems like it would give it an edge. I'll be trying one soon.

I like the modtraps in general though---I think they should make a wraparound. I reviewed them for TOMag but I'm not sure if the review ever ran...

Why settle for just 1 option?

We have mic collections- it's great we can finally start an acoustic baffle collection!

I have both a modtrap and a SE reflexion so far, and actually I'm liking the SE Reflexion in the front (standard) and the modtrap behind... a great vocal booth.

I think the RealTraps would be awesome as well if you're not in a small room (like I am).... however, the size would be an advantage for baffle coverage. I bet it would sound great as a baffle for a guitar amp.

And we have a winner! Excellent point Kayagum.

I'm jealous that he got to hang with you. I played on a record at Scott's historic home. We had a blast.

i'm not trying to be a turd, but that thing is ugly. i mean, i wouldn't mind singing into it, but i can't imagine setting up a client behind this giant black gobo contraption. i know it's a petty thing, but the reaction from clients can't be discounted. the SE is sexier. i don't think they'd like the look of the PVB. is it just me?

that said, i am hoping to give RT some bidness in the coming year since i really appreciate ethan dipping in with his room treatment advice. very classy.

best,
Jon

I think this discussion needs to be taken over to DIY...

And hey yeah Tony, you can come over any time... :D

i can't see either of them being all that comfortable for singers. seems like having that wall right in your face would make it harder to relax. i'm not a singer though, so who knows.....

You could always place glow in the dark star stickers all over them and turn out the lights. Then one would have the feeling of singing in space.

Here's the working class alternative.

I made one it works great for vocals and voiceover, I need to get crafty and find a way to mount it to a mic stand though.

I have some ideas.

ok so it looks like you can get the

modtrap
STUDIO "B" KIT for 280.00

the RealTraps - Tri-Corner for 250-$300

and the SE electronics for $300.

as of now it looks like i will go with either the realtraps or the modtrap studioB kit.
if i could only try both of them and see how they compare against eachother.
