FAQs

What microphones is the AT8175 compatible with?

The AT8175 is custom-designed for Audio Technica 20 Series vocal microphones. Please check your microphone model for compatibility.

How does the pop filter work?

It uses a perforated steel mesh to diffuse the direct blast of air from plosive sounds (like 'p' and 'b') before they hit the microphone capsule, preventing distortion and 'popping'.

Can I use this pop filter with other brands of microphones?

No, the AT8175 is specifically designed for Audio Technica 20 Series vocal microphones and may not fit or function correctly with other brands or models.

Does the steel mesh affect the sound quality?

The perforated steel mesh is engineered to minimize impact on vocal tone and clarity, allowing sound to pass through while blocking unwanted air bursts.

How often should I clean the pop filter?

It's recommended to clean the pop filter periodically, especially if you notice any dust buildup or if performance seems affected. A gentle wipe with a soft cloth is usually sufficient.

Is the AT8175 difficult to install?

No, installation is straightforward. It simply clips onto the front of the compatible microphone.

Troubleshooting

Pop filter does not attach securely

Ensure you are using a compatible Audio Technica 20 Series microphone and that the filter is aligned correctly with the microphone's front grille. Check for any debris on the microphone or filter attachment points.

Reduced vocal clarity after attaching filter

Verify that the pop filter is clean and free of dust or obstructions. Ensure it is not positioned too close to the microphone capsule, which could dampen sound. The steel mesh is designed for clarity, so significant reduction may indicate a different issue.

Plosive sounds are still present

While the AT8175 reduces plosives, perfect elimination may not always be achieved, especially with very forceful P/B sounds. Ensure the microphone is positioned correctly relative to the vocalist and that the pop filter is securely attached.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly reduces plosive sounds for cleaner vocals.
  • Maintains vocal clarity and natural tone.
  • Easy to attach and detach.
  • Lightweight design does not affect microphone handling.
  • Durable steel mesh construction.

Cons

  • Specific compatibility with Audio Technica 20 Series microphones.

  • Does not offer physical protection to the microphone body.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The AT8175 clips directly onto the front grille of compatible Audio Technica 20 Series vocal microphones. Align the filter with the microphone body and gently press until it clicks into place. Ensure a snug fit.

Compatibility: This pop filter is custom-designed for Audio Technica 20 Series vocal microphones. It is not intended for use with other microphone brands or models.

Care: To clean the pop filter, gently wipe the steel mesh with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as they can damage the mesh. Ensure the filter is completely dry before reattaching it to the microphone.
