RED100 Vs sE Reflexion an Independent Comparison

We have been asked many times by customers how the RED100 compares to the sE Reflexion filter, we gave one of each to Mark Davies, an independent Producer/Engineer to test and send us back the results, below is his response.
SE Electronics Reflexion Filter vs Studiospares RED 100

So how does the RED 100 compare to the SE Reflexion Filter despite it being less than half the price?

I recently did some tests in my notoriously difficult studio. The same singer, mic, pre-amp and convertors were used to keep everything on a level playing field. After the recording lots of compression was applied, the same amount on all of the files so that the differences is a bit more noticeable.

Setting up: The SE filter features a complex mechanism to attach the filter to the mic stand which took a good 20 minutes to figure out and put in place, having no instructions to hand!. However, the RED100 was on and secure in minutes. Also, whilst the Reflextion filter is a fixed shape, the RED100 is hinged at the middle allowing you to vary the 'size' of the space. This could also prove useful for instrument recording.

The results: There are three audio files (below) which are recordings with no filter, Reflextion Filter and the RED100. The recording with no filter shows up the thin, 'glassy' sound of the room. Interestingly however, both the Reflextion Filter and RED100 sound almost identical.

Conclusion: It is hard to justify spending over twice the money on the Reflexion Filter, even though it is a slightly sturdier construction. The setup time, adjustability and ease of portability of the RED100 make this an easy decision.
