Pop Filters

Even the best controlled singers tend to get a microphone popping on occasions, so in most studios you'll see circular nylon-mesh screens that clip to the mic stand and sit a couple of inches in front of the mic. They are known as Pop Filters. You can see how effectivePop Filters can be by trying the candle trick again. A good loud plosive with a pop screen between the mouth and the candle should barely disturb the flame. The way pop filters works is simple; sound passes through the fine mesh with just a little high-frequency reduction, but plosives are stopped dead. It's simple, but it works!
