Sterling Audio UMS Utility Microphone Shield

The compact and lightweight Sterling Audio utility microphone shield allows for precision control and variability in your professional recordings by isolating microphones from unwanted echo and excess noise.

Podcast and Desktop Isolation

The UMS does an excellent job of minimizing unwanted vocal reflections for podcasts, YouTube videos and other desktop recording situations. By isolating the microphone from room surfaces, it provides the clarity and articulation needed for professional results.

Snare and Hi-Hat Isolation

The UMS’s flexible gooseneck clamps to most mic stands at any angle, allowing for complex mic placements like isolating a hi-hat from a snare drum. This gives you a clean, controllable mix and the option to add ambient room mics for a full sound.

Crash and Ride Cymbal Isolation

In addition to intended sounds reflecting off untreated room surfaces into the mic, unwanted sounds can bleed into the pickup pattern. The UMS prevents these issues, allowing for a focused capture of the intended audio source.

Lightweight, Compact Design

Constructed of lightweight aluminum, the UMS is easy to position and transport. A compact size means it takes up little space, making it ideal for small studios and live venues.
