Question 1

Is anyone using this with the Blue Snowball microphone? Does this mount well onto it? Any issues?

Accepted Answer

the mount is definitely designed to mount to a mic stand or other cylindrical item like a mic stand, but i actually clamp mine to my desk, if you don't have something round to clamp it to though it may be difficult. I managed to finangle it onto my blue yeti's stand though.

Question 2

Should I get on of these if my microphone has a built in pop filter?

Accepted Answer

The popular Shure mics--SM57, SM58 and SM48--now advertise a "built-in pop filter."  It's propably effective for live performance, but you may find that for radio announcing or recording, you're still getting unwanted sibilant and plosive sounds.  In that case, the pop filters like the pictured one are the answer.  On the other hand, the recording mics are usually condenser mics with phantom power, not dynamic mics like the Shure.  So the value of this filter to you may also depend on the type of mic you're using.

Question 3

Is this as big as they say it is? If you where to measure it, how big is the diameter?

Accepted Answer

Almost 6 inches, it doesn't feel huge IMO.

Question 4

How does it go on?

Accepted Answer

There's a screw at the end that acts like a vice and holds itself in place on the mic stand . it's nice although on snowball stand its alittle lose cuz the screw probably isn't long enough to clamp down on it. But its fine as long as you don't move to much.My suggestion though is modify it with a longer screw or put like a piece of cardboard or something so you can get a possible tight fit. Last you want is a rogue swinging pop filter.Also be very cautious on how you bend it. Too much flexing can make it real lose. I struggle with keeping the filter off the mic.Either way for a streamer or just recording on a budget it does rather Swell. But if you don't want deal with the above problems buy your self one that's abit pricey.
