The Aston Halo Reflection Filter in Purple is a high-performance portable acoustic treatment solution designed to improve vocal and instrument recordings in untreated or partially treated rooms.

Unlike more basic reflection filters that mainly address sound from the sides and rear, the Halo uses a large double-curved design to provide broader acoustic control around the microphone, helping reduce reflections from walls, ceilings and floors.

Its patented PET felt construction combines absorption with diffusion, while Aston's easy-mount hardware allows the Halo to attach securely to a standard microphone stand.

This Pre-Owned example is in Very Good condition.

WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT

The Aston Halo is particularly useful for home studios and recording spaces where full acoustic treatment is impractical. By surrounding the microphone with a large curved acoustic surface, it helps reduce the amount of unwanted room reflection reaching the mic and can produce a drier, more controlled recording.

Its lightweight PET felt design is also easier to manage than many heavy metal reflection filters. The mounting system allows both the Halo and microphone position to be adjusted, making it easier to find the right balance between isolation and natural room ambience.

DETAILED FEATURES & BENEFITS

360° Acoustic Control

The Halo's curved design provides acoustic treatment not only behind and beside the microphone but also above and below it. This helps control reflections from floors and ceilings as well as nearby walls, which can be particularly useful in untreated rooms.

Patented PET Felt

The Halo is constructed from patented PET acoustic felt, combining a rigid outer form with internal acoustic material. This allows it to absorb unwanted reflections while remaining relatively lightweight.

Built-In Diffusion

Front and rear diffusion ribs help scatter reflected sound rather than simply absorbing everything directly. This contributes to a more controlled and natural recording environment around the microphone.

Adjustable Microphone Position

The microphone position can be moved further into or out of the Halo. Moving the microphone deeper into the filter increases isolation, while positioning it further forward allows more of the natural room sound to remain.

Easy-Mount Hardware

Aston's mounting system is designed to attach the Halo securely to a standard microphone stand while also supporting the microphone itself. This keeps the setup compact and reduces the need for separate stands.

Suitable for Vocals & Instruments

Although especially popular for vocal recording, the Halo can also be useful for acoustic guitar, voice-over, podcasting and other sources recorded with side-address studio microphones.

Lightweight Construction

At approximately 4.08 lbs, the Halo is lighter than many large metal reflection filters, making it easier to mount and reposition in smaller studio environments.

WHO IS IT FOR?

The Aston Halo is particularly well suited to home studio users, singers, voice-over artists, podcasters, producers and musicians recording in untreated rooms.

It is especially useful where permanent acoustic treatment is not practical, such as bedrooms, project studios, rented spaces and portable recording setups.

RECORDING APPLICATIONS

The Halo works particularly well for vocals, spoken word, podcasting, voice-over, acoustic guitar and other close-miked sources.

It can be especially effective with side-address condenser microphones, where the capsule can be positioned centrally within the Halo for improved isolation.

HOW IT COMPARES

Aston Halo vs Basic Reflection Filter

Many conventional reflection filters primarily reduce reflections from behind and beside the microphone. The Halo's larger double-curved shape also helps address reflections from above and below.

Aston Halo vs Full Room Treatment

A reflection filter does not replace properly designed acoustic room treatment, but it can significantly improve close-mic recording conditions where permanent panels, bass traps and ceiling treatment are unavailable.

Aston Halo vs Aston Halo Shadow

The Halo and Halo Shadow use the same core design and acoustic concept. The primary distinction is colour: the standard Halo uses the distinctive Aston Purple finish, while the Halo Shadow uses a darker charcoal finish.

FAIR DEAL MUSIC EXPERT VERDICT ★★★★★

Best suited for: Home studios, vocalists, podcasters and producers who want better control over room reflections without permanently treating the whole recording space.

Customers usually upgrade from: Basic foam screens, smaller metal reflection filters and untreated home recording setups.

Most commonly paired with: Large-diaphragm condenser microphones, studio microphone stands, pop filters, audio interfaces and closed-back headphones.

Our tip: Experiment with microphone depth inside the Halo rather than assuming the deepest position is always best. Moving the mic slightly forward can preserve more natural room character while still reducing unwanted reflections.

Showroom feedback: The Halo is one of the more substantial portable reflection filters available, and its broad curved design makes it especially useful for vocal recording in rooms where floor and ceiling reflections are also a problem.
