Mudder 5 Pack Foam Mic Cover Handheld Microphone Windscreen (5 Pack)

Product Information

This is because metallic mesh filters have specially shaped openings that deflect gusts of air downward, while having less of a detrimental impact on high frequencies.

Its specific purpose is to filter plosives. These are popping sounds (thus the filter’s name) created when you expel sharp gusts of air. Larger filters, though, are less restrictive, allowing the user to focus on what they’re doing, rather than how they’re doing it. Slip the nylon over the hanger, pull tight, trim off the excess material and tape into place. That’s it!A foam cover, or windscreen, is a porous, polyurethane cylinder that fits securely over a microphone’s grille. What is a Foam Cover’s Purpose I also learned that they’re not interchangeable. Each filter functions differently and is used in different situations. Each one works better with specific microphones. Read on to learn all about selecting the mic filter that’s right for you. Things to Consider When Buying a Microphone Filter I thought this video by Mike Delgaudio of Booth Junkie was extremely helpful in showing how a pop filter’s price doesn’t necessarily equate to quality. He does a rundown of pop filters, their effectiveness and whether they change the incoming sound. (Complete with waveforms!)

Windjammers are lined with polyurethane foam for extra wind interference reduction. They are fitted over blimp-shaped microphones, which have their own built-in windscreens. This adds an additional layer that makes the windjammer even more effective. Pop filters are generally between four and six inches. The smaller ones limit range of motion, because the singer or speaker has to be positioned just-so in front of them. If you have a smaller mic, a smaller pop filter is probably best. Microphone filters may look like simple devices. However, there are numerous features to take into consideration when you’re debating between a pop filter vs. foam cover. Size Since blimps contain the entire microphone, surrounding it in an open chamber, they completely safeguard it from disturbance coming from all directions. Flat filters are less expensive than curved ones. However, you must be careful to speak or sing directly into the mic so that you’re less likely to create plosives. Material

Conclusion

Like the pop filter, a windscreen dissipates low frequency interference caused by bursts of air. However, it disperses air from all sides, rather than only the front. Advantages: I highly recommend using microphone filters, because they screen out noises made by wind, breath and high-end/low-end issues. They also eliminate popping sounds created when singing or saying certain consonants. Filters keep saliva off the microphone, as well as dirt, dust and debris.
