Avid XYQ-1 Studio Isolation Shield

The Avid XYQ-1 combines a foldable microphone isolation shield with a full-height tripod stand for vocal recording. Its acoustic sandwich design uses a reflective layer, precision filter and absorption foam to cut ambient noise by 87 percent. The unit delivers 26 dB reduction and mounts on the included 72.8 inch stand or a desktop surface.

Check Stand Height and Mic Thread Compatibility

Verify that the 42 to 71.5 inch height range suits your seated or standing recording position. The package supplies two universal thread adapters for 3/8 inch and 5/8 inch microphone mounts. Ensure your microphone uses one of these standard threads before ordering.

Upgrades Basic Pop Filters and Desktop Screens

This kit replaces simple pop filters or flat desktop shields that only address plosives. The jump is worth it when room reflections and background noise degrade vocal clarity. Buyers who need a permanent booth installation or multi-microphone tracking should consider fixed acoustic panels instead.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box and does the package include a microphone?

The box contains the foldable 17.1" isolation shield, two universal thread adapters for 3/8"-5/8" mic stands, and an illustrated setup guide. A microphone is not included.

Should I choose the desktop or boom-arm mounting option for my setup?

The stand offers both configurations: use the weighted triple-leg base for desktop recording or attach the shield to a boom arm via the included adapters for standing performances.

What does the 26dB reduction figure mean when I am actually recording?

The 26dB reduction means the shield cuts ambient noise by 87% using its acoustic sandwich design, so room reflections and background sounds are significantly dampened at the microphone.
