A pop filter or pop shield is an anti-pop
noise protection filter for
microphones. It serves to reduce popping and hissing sounds in recorded speech and singing.A pop filter is normally composed of an acoustically semi-transparent material such as woven
nylon stretched over a circular frame, and often includes a clamp and a flexible mounting bracket. A cheap pop shield can be made from material from
tights or
stockings stretched over a piece of
wire such as a bent
coat hanger.
