Get to know them!





Loud, piercing stage instruments have a way of bleeding into live vocal mics and compromising your mix. To help stop bleed and improve isolation, Sweetwater recommends Sound Shields' VDS-20DIA-K 20" Cymbal Shields. We like Cymbal Shields because they set up fast and often a great job of reducing bleed. Just mount these 20" shields to the bundled PDP cymbal stands using the included felts and wing nuts, and place wherever directional sound sources ? cymbals, horns, amps, etc. ? are harshing your mix or affecting your listeners. We've included a pair of PDP's rock-solid 700-series boom stands with these shields because they're tough, dependable, and fast to set up ? in short, they're everything you could want in a cymbal stand. Whether you're fighting cymbal bleed or trying to keep shrill amps and trumpets from overtaking your mix, Sweetwater's 20" Cymbal Shield Stand Bundle has you covered.





Here's what you get!

Sells separately for $39.99 each





If you need a little help spot-treating directional cymbals, horns, or combo amps in a live ensemble setting, the VDS-20DIA-K 20" Cymbal Shield from Sound Shields makes a noticeable difference. This 20" clear acrylic disc diffuses and deflects high-frequency content without obscuring sight lines. This means your players stay visible and those piercing crashes, trumpet stabs, and power chords stay out of your vocal mics. What's really great is that the VDS-20DIA-K mounts directly to an open cymbal stand or boom arm. So for drum set applications, the Sound Shields Cymbal Shield remains virtually invisible ? just mount an additional cymbal boom off your stand, mount the Cymbal Shield, and you're golden.
