Knox Gear Desktop Boom Arm Microphone Stand

Knox Gear Pop Filter for Broadcasting and Recording Microphones

The Knox Gear Pop Filter for Broadcasting and Recording Microphones is a guard used by amateurs and professionals to achieve clearer audio recordings by eliminating 'popping' sounds from P's and B's. It also keeps saliva from hitting the microphone. The included gooseneck clamp enables the filter to be placed in a variety of positions.

An Inexpensive Way to Improve Audio Quality

Whether you're a professional or amateur, adding a pop screen to your recording set up is a cheap and easy way to improve the audio quality of your recordings immediately. Pop screens diffuse wind and gusts of air expelled from your mouth when you speak to help eliminate the loud thuds that can occur when air hits the microphone. Eliminating these noises makes your recorded audio sound clearer and more professional to listeners!

Clamp Fits Most Microphone Stands

This pop screen's clamp is designed to fit most microphone stands and boom arms. The clamp's curved base wraps around mic stands to hold it in place and the rubber screw pad contours to the surface of what it's in contact with. Padding on both surfaces of the clamp protects your microphone from scratches and damage.

Fully Adjustable Gooseneck Arm

The pop screen is mounted on a flexible gooseneck arm that allows you to position it however you want. For extra support and stability during recording, the arm can be bent around the stand and mic. The arm is roughly 14 inches long so you can position the screen as close or as far away from the mic's surface as you'd like.

Large Surface Area

The screen is 6 inches in diameter and will diffuse bursts of air even if the source isn't directly in front of the microphone. This means you can conduct interviews with people who are sitting next to you without worrying about either of you causing pops or thuds. The large screen will also protect your microphone from saliva that might be expelled from your mouth as you talk.
