\n\t\"Pop<\/a>Synthax Audio UK catches up with the designers of the Pop Audio Pop Filter, to find out more about their redesigned pop shield.<\/o:p>
\n<\/h3>\n

\n\tThe humble pop shield is a basic necessity of any recording studio, especially when it comes to recording vocals. With its location between the singer and microphone, it's the first aspect of the recording chain, and has an effect on both the sound and potentially the performance too (nobody wants to have to keep repositioning a pop shield that won't stay in place!). So it's somewhat surprising <\/span>how similar the majority of<\/span> pop filters are, and the lack of quality options that are available to recording professionals. <\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe requirements are fairly simple – a pop filter should effectively reduces pops and 'plosives', whilst having a minimal effect on the sound of the recording. It should have a strong and flexible arm that once positioned stays exactly where it's meant to, without moving or drooping, and that doesn't lose its strength over time. It should also have a simple and non-cumbersome method of attaching to a mic stand, and the filters should be replaceable. <\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tYet many traditional pop filters suffer from a range of issues that can make recording with them an (unnecessarily) frustrating experience. Weak clamps that won’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, not to mention poor quality filter material that doesn't provide decent protection against pops in the first place.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n
