Pop filters, also known as microphone pop shield is utilized for enhancing vocals during recording either in a home or professional studio. It functions by reducing the plosives that are produced by air striking the microphone at high speeds. This little mesh object can also assist in guarding the microphone from corrosion due to spittle that may be left on the microphone. Some letters like P's, B's and T's can destroy a vocal recording by creating huge explosions of air when spoken. Using pop shields will dramatically lessen these plosives by disintegrating the air that goes with speaking these letters.
