The On-Stage Stands ASVS4-B Pop Filter is designed for vocalists and podcasters seeking to improve audio clarity by reducing plosive sounds. Its key benefit is creating a natural and clear vocal track by effectively blocking air puffs.

FAQs
What is a pop filter used for?
A pop filter is used to reduce or eliminate the 'plosive' sounds (like 'p' and 'b' sounds) that can cause distortion when recording vocals or speech.
How far should the pop filter be from the microphone?
Generally, the pop filter should be placed 2-6 inches away from the microphone and between the sound source (your mouth) and the microphone.
Will this pop filter change my voice quality?
This pop filter is designed to block plosives without altering the natural tone or quality of your voice.
What material is the pop filter screen made of?
The pop filter screen is made of durable black nylon.
How do I attach the pop filter to my microphone stand?
It features a clothespin-style clip that easily attaches to most standard microphone stands.
What is the diameter of the pop filter?
The diameter of the pop filter is 10.2 cm (approximately 4 inches).
Can I use this for instruments?
While primarily designed for vocals, it can be used for other sound sources where plosives might be an issue, though its effectiveness may vary.
Troubleshooting
Pop filter is too close to the microphone.
Adjust the gooseneck to increase the distance between the pop filter and the microphone. Ensure it is positioned a few inches away from the mic capsule.
Clip won't attach securely to the mic stand.
Ensure the clip is being attached to a compatible stand pole diameter. Check for any obstructions on the stand or clip that might prevent a secure grip.
Pop filter seems to be muffling the voice.
Adjust the angle and distance of the pop filter. It may be too close or positioned directly in the main airflow path. Try angling it slightly or moving it further away.
Nylon screen is dirty.
Gently wipe the screen with a clean, dry cloth. For stubborn dust, use a slightly damp cloth and allow it to air dry completely before use.
