Just strap a pair of tights over a coat hanger and you&#39;re done right? <\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<span style=\"font-size:14px;\">Well, despite the simplicity of the pop filter, a surprisingly common complaint we hear from studio engineers is of poorly designed pop shields causing unnecessary frustrations during a recording session. Problems include weak clamps that won&rsquo;t stay locked to the microphone stand, arms that move and droop after having been carefully positioned, a loss or lack of flexibility in the arm etc. <\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<span style=\"font-size:14px;\">In fact for such as simple part of the recording puzzle, pop shields can suffer from a variety of problems, all of which amounts to at best an irritation, and at worst a serious disruption to recording, breaking the flow of the session and looking pretty unprofessional in the eyes of a client.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<span style=\"font-size:14px;\">Enter the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.synthax.co.uk\/pop-audio\/\" title=\"Pop Audio Range at Synthax.co.uk\">Pop Audio Pop Filter<\/a>. Designed by two professional sound engineers who&rsquo;d experienced the above problems first hand, the pair decided to use their experience to create their own, solving the problems once and for all. Featuring a unique ball and joint arm system, bayonet attachment point, a strong quick release clamp, plus a range of detachable filters to suit any recording situation, Pop Audio&#39;s Pop Filter has been specifically designed to withstand the rigours of daily studio usage for years to come.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t&nbsp;\n<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">\n\t&ldquo;Quite simply the best pop filter we&rsquo;ve ever seen.&rdquo;<br \/>\n<\/h3>\n<p>\n\t&nbsp;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<span style=\"font-size:14px;\">Since making their pop shield available to the public earlier this year critical reception has been extremely positive, with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.audiomediainternational.com\/recording\/review-pop-audio-pop-filter\/05761\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"AMI Review of the Pop Audio Pop Filter\">Audio Media International<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.soundonsound.com\/reviews\/pop-audio-pop-filter-studio-edition\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"SOS Review of the Pop Audio Pop Filter\">Sound On Sound<\/a> and now <a href=\"http:\/\/www.musictech.net\/2016\/11\/pop-filter-studio-edition-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"MT Review of the Pop Audio Pop Filter\">MusicTech<\/a> all in agreement that the guys at Pop Audio have set a new standard for professional pop filters with their intelligent and unique design.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Pop Audio Studio &amp; Classic Editions - Synthax Audio UK\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5842\" height=\"270\" src=\"https:\/\/www.synthax.co.uk\/latest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Pop-Audio-Studio-Classic-Editions-Synthax-Audio-UK.jpg\" width=\"540\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.synthax.co.uk\/latest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Pop-Audio-Studio-Classic-Editions-Synthax-Audio-UK.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/www.synthax.co.uk\/latest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Pop-Audio-Studio-Classic-Editions-Synthax-Audio-UK-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.synthax.co.uk\/latest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Pop-Audio-Studio-Classic-Editions-Synthax-Audio-UK-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.synthax.co.uk\/latest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Pop-Audio-Studio-Classic-Editions-Synthax-Audio-UK-1024x512.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\" \/>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n\t<span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><em>Pop Audio&#39;s Pop Filter is available in two models; the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.synthax.co.uk\/pop-audio\/pop-audio-studio-edition\/\" title=\"Pop Audio Studio Edition Overview\">Studio Edition<\/a> (left) ships with three types of filters, whilst the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.synthax.co.uk\/pop-audio\/pop-audio-classic\/\" title=\"Pop Audio Classic Edition Overview\">Classic Edition<\/a> (right) includes the Fabric Filter<br \/>\n\t&#8211; the other filter types can be purchased separately if required.<\/em><\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n\t&nbsp;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<span style=\"font-size:14px;\">In his review for MusicTech, Mike Hillier writes, &ldquo;the Pop Audio Pop Filter is so simple and so effective, that it&rsquo;s hard to even consider an alternative. If you ever intend to record vocals, this is something you&rsquo;re going to want to add to your kit list immediately.&quot; He also goes on to describe it as &quot;quite simply the best pop filter we&#39;ve ever seen&quot;.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<span style=\"font-size:14px;\">It&#39;s not just sound engineers and producers recording vocals who can benefit from using a quality pop filter however. Youtubers, vloggers and animators; voice-over artists who record audio books, dialogue and ADR; and even sound designers and foley artists; whatever you&#39;re recording, you&#39;ll find the Pop Audio Pop Filter to be a highly useful tool to have in your studio arsenal. <\/span><span style=\"font-size:14px;\">Adding one to your recording chain not only improves the quality of your recordings, but also helps to protect your microphones from damage as well. <\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<span style=\"font-size:14px;\">To find out what all the fuss is about, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.synthax.co.uk\/uploads\/redactor\/MT%20-%20Pop%20Audio%20Review%20-%2002%20-%20Oct%202016_21_11_2016.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click here to read MusicTech's review of the Pop Audio pop filter\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\">click here to read the full review from MusicTech.<\/span><\/a>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t&nbsp;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.synthax.co.uk\/pop-audio\/pop-audio-studio-edition\/\" title=\"Pop Audio Studio Edition Overview\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\">Find out more about the Pop Audio Studio Edition<\/span><\/a>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.synthax.co.uk\/pop-audio\/pop-audio-classic\/\" title=\"Pop Audio Classic Edition Overview\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\">Find out more about the Pop Audio Classic Edition<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Pop Audio Pop Filter has just received another glowing review, this time from MusicTech.
