Microphone absorber Omnitronic AS-01 acoustic foam panel for reducing room reflections and mic bleed

Omnitronic AS-01 is an acoustic foam microphone absorber designed to reduce room reflections, reverberation and mic bleed during vocal and instrument recordings. The foam panel is intended to absorb mid-to-high frequencies in the immediate vicinity of a microphone, helping to improve clarity and focus in recordings. Its compact form factor makes it practical for use in small home studios, podcasting setups, streaming booths and voice-over sessions where quick placement behind or around a microphone is required.

Advantages

The Omnitronic AS-01 provides local acoustic treatment without the need to modify a room: by absorbing stray reflections near the sound source it reduces unwanted coloration and comb filtering in captured audio. The lightweight foam construction allows easy positioning and repositioning around microphones and stands. As a purpose-built microphone absorber it targets mid-to-high frequency energy where sibilance, room reflections and certain types of mic bleed are most noticeable.

Suitable for

• Home recording and project studios for vocals and acoustic instruments
• Podcasting and streaming setups to reduce room ambience and background reflections
• Voice-over booths and mobile recording where quick placement is needed
• Rehearsal spaces and small live setups for improved microphone isolation

Key specifications

• Material: acoustic foam designed for mid-to-high frequency absorption
• Function: local reduction of room reflections and mic bleed near the microphone
• Form factor: compact foam panel suitable for placement behind or around a microphone
• Application: suitable for vocals, speech, podcasting, streaming and instrument recording

How to use

Place the Omnitronic AS-01 foam panel directly behind or around the microphone so that it intercepts reflections coming from nearby room surfaces. For vocal work position the panel close to the rear or sides of the microphone to reduce reflected sound entering the capsule. For instrument recording experiment with distance and angle between the source, microphone and absorber to find the best balance between direct sound and reduced reflections. The lightweight panel can be mounted on or suspended from microphone stands, clamps or temporary frames as required; ensure secure positioning to avoid movement during recording.

Usage recommendations

Use the AS-01 as a local treatment component rather than a substitute for full-room acoustic treatment. Combine it with additional absorbers, bass traps or diffusers if broader frequency control or lower-frequency reduction is required. Keep the foam clean and free of dust; avoid placing it near strong heat sources or open flames.
