Clearsonic Lite2466-5 drum screen

General

If you have a limited budget, Lite2466-5 drum screens are a great alternative for A5 drum screens. They're slightly less thick than their more expensive A5 counterparts, and have unfinished edges. Their corners aren't rounded, which means microphone and power cables must be guided along the top or back. Lite2466-5 screens are made of acrylic material and have a height of 66.1 inches (168 cm). Each screen has a width of 23.6 inches and is 0.19 inches thick. The Lite2466-5 drum screen consists of five connected panels with a practical accordion design that allows for an effortless setup. Assembling and positioning the screen only takes about 30 seconds.

ClearSonic drum screen

In order to achieve a well-balanced sound, sometimes it's necessary to set up an acoustic shield. ClearSonic screens prevent your drum sounds from being picked up by other instruments' microphones. That way, sound engineers are able to create a decent mix, and all musicians can properly hear themselves play. In practice, ClearSonic's screens serve various purposes. They're great for live orchestra applications, for instance, shielding the drummer away from the strings, but they also serve you well in the studio, where they prevent mic bleed. The screens aren't only excellent for drums, but can be used to isolate other sound sources as well.

Acoustics

Drum screens offer a means of changing the acoustics of a room. They solve various issues, such as mic bleed, but unfortunately they're not the answer to all your problems. Drum screens reflect direct sound, causing the sound waves to travel upward or bounce right back. As such, they can produce a slight delay, which is perceived by your audience as a cacophony of sound. To solve that problem, ClearSonic has developed the Sorber sound-absorbing panels. They're the perfect match for A5 or Lite2466-5 panels.
