DIY: Microphone Pop Filter



Pop filters for your microphone are not particularly expensive. You really have to go out of your way to spend more than $50-100, and you can even get away with spending $20. That said, there are a few DIY videos here for making your own pop filter for $10 or less.

A pop filter will be of use particularly in your ADR work, and you will know what the absence of a pop filter sounds like by recalling audio cases where a hard "P" or "T" hits the microphone with too much air pressure, creating a noxious sound. Also, painfully hissing "S" sounds can be corrected with a filter.

The principles are pretty simple. Enjoy the videos.
