How to Install a Pop Filter
Pop filters are used to mute pops, smacks or other mouth noises that may find their way into the recording mix. The filter cleans up the voice by preventing any unnecessary sounds from reach the microphone. Pop filters are also used to prevent spit and moisture put forth by a singer or entertainer from contaminating the expensive microphones. The sounds of "B," "T," "S" and "P" tend to slip into audio mixes without the use of a pop filter.
