So now that I've got my new microphone, I remembered that without a pop filter (since I don't have the extra cash laying around just yet) that I'm going to get those annoying wind bursts from words beginning with p, b and s. So, I created this pop filter out of the following materials.
(Note, these can all be picked up for under $5 - maybe free if you've got it laying around)
- Wire Coat Hanger
- Leggings (Stocking) - Best if they're new.
- Tape
Step 1 - Grab a wire coat hanger and straighten it out. Then make a hoop on one end (7 inch diameter is best)
Step 2 - Get your pantyhose and pull them over the hoop until the end (Where your foot would be) is at the top. Cut off the excess stocking (leave about 5-7cm's) at the bottom of the hoop and tape it around the bottom of the wire.
Step 3 - Make a small hoop on the other end, so that you can wrap it around the bottom of your microphone.
Note: the ATR-2500 has a small threaded piece that connects to the stand, which is where I wrapped it around, you can adapt this to ANY microphone stand - Desk and/or large stands)
Step 4 - Place the small hoop around the bottom of your microphone and tighten it up reaaaal tight. If it doesn't sit properly, secure it with a piece of tape.
VOILA! You now have a home made pop filter, congratulations!
[Excuse the mess, my Grandfather is a 3D Modeler/Animator and his setup is ridiculous.]
If you followed this article, please show me your creations below ;D It also works quite well, I screamed a variety of words starting with troublesome letters and I heard no wind bursts or distortion.
Thanks for reading, hopefully this helps you out,
