AKORD Microphone Swivel Pop Filter

The AKORD Microphone Swivel Pop Filter works exactly as advertised. It effectively reduces plosive sounds and ensures cleaner audio recordings. The build quality is solid, and the adjustable swivel arm makes it easy to position. It's lightweight but feels durable, and it fits most standard microphones. For the price, it's excellent value and a must-have for anyone recording vocals or podcasts. Highly recommend!

Before purchasing, I'd read a couple of articles online, about making a DIY anti-pop screen, at a very low price. However, due to my relative inexperience (and poor DIY skills!), I decided to purchase a professionally manufactured screen and I'm very glad I did. Despite coming in some rather unassuming (but thankfully very easy-to-open) packaging, this 6" screen is extraordinarily sturdy, sporting a flexible frame so that you can twist it into any position you can think of. The clamp is also very strong, allowing you to clip the screen on to pretty much anything. The 6" screen size is also very large, entirely covering my Blue Microphones Yeti USB Microphone , and eliminating all the clicks and pops that had previously plagued my recordings. If you're a home recording musician, this screen is just the thing for you - I cannot rate it highly enough!

This Pop Filter arrived in a very nicely designed and strong cardboard box. I opened it up to find that it was concealed with no actual material, apart from a small, thin, and plastic bag. Although it arrived with no instructions, it arrived fairly quickly and was pretty self explanatory to set up. It required almost no effort, and was completely compatible with my Blue Yeti Microphone - But. It was only compatible with the Blue Yeti if you attached it to an exterior part of the Yeti, such as the Stock Stand, or an Adjustable Arm, (I am using it alongside my Yeti and the Racksoy Professional Adjustable Microphone Fold Mic Suspension Boom Scissor Arm Stand) which was a small disappointment considering the screw and appliance at the end of the pop filter you used to tighten onto the microphone couldn't even get half way around the Yeti. The Quality improvements brought on by the "Dragonpad" Pop Filter (I'm pretty sure this is a rebrand of the Dragonpad, seeing as they have the same picture on the post) we're slightly mediocre. Although, it does as intended and certainly helps block pops and wind heading towards my mic. I'd rate it 4 out of 5 stars.

Great price and does the job well.

As an audiophile i am very picky when it comes to sound quality. I have worked with many high end studio pop filters over my years of study. For an item that cost £4 you get what you pay for. The item is quite top heavy and the metal pole holding it (being flexible) cannot support the weight of the large pop filter. Although, with a quick re-shuffle of my equipment, the sound quality i got from this was exactly what i'd expect. Immediately has reduced any extra "pops" from my p's and b's. If you are on a budget i recommend this. The product was quickly delivered well within the estimate. Although, if you are not on a budget, or can afford a better (Metal) pop filter, i strongly suggest doing so.

I cannot fault this product in any way and I would recommend this product to anyone who has a blue snowball or yeti. Yes, there are better pop filters like the dual layers but a singer layer does the job perfectly fine at an affordable price. I personally use this for my Blue Snowball and I haven't been experiencing any issues so far. The goose neck is super flexible but sometimes it can get a bit loose. This can be fixed with a bit of DIY-no big deal. I must say, I do not regret buying this product in any way, it does EXACTLY what it should do which is to stop the popping noises. So if you're looking for a value pop filter, look no further!

The size (diameter) of the item is approximately 15.5cm from the outer edge of the hoop. This is perfect for most microphone uses, and certainly for mine. The clamp has a large aperture to allow for many different fixing points and can accommodate a standard microphone boom stand easily. There is rubber/plastic grip protection for the stand also so no marks are left due to use. The grip is sturdy and can be tightened easily without having the sensation of over-tightening. The goose neck flexible adjustment is excellent and holds every position I have placed it in so far. Using a pop shield is highly recommended as it should prolong the life of your microphone, as long as other microphone care procedures are implemented also. Highly recommended seller and product.

This thing has two jobs: 1) Stop sudden bursts of air from hitting the microphone and making a pop sound, hence the name. 2) The bracket and the arm have to be stable and flexible so the shield can be placed in the correct place. The first, is true, I have tried and tested this and it does in fact stop all pop sounds with it's two layers. The second however, is in my opinion quite frankly horrible. The bracket does tighten to microphone arms/stands, but if you want to take it off and place it somewhere else, the gripping foam is completely shredded and makes it slip and rotate. Also for some reason, the way the arm is attached to the bracket, makes it completely useless, it rotates, therefore wherever to place this, where the weight of the arm is, will rotate to the bottom, meaning when I tried to use it, I positioned it in front of my microphone and it just swings down below, meaning for me this product is completely useless. There are many similar ones to these on Amazon and I'm sure you'll be much happier, rather than TWO parts constantly rotating under the weight itself.

Impressed with the quality of material for its price

The same day I ordered the filter I ordered a CAD U37 USB Condenser microphone. Or was it the microphone first and then the filter? I'm not familiar with any mic or as a matter of fact any recording instruments. This is my first attempt at the whole process. I have a good friend who is in the recording business whom I turned to for help. After listening to my ideas of what I wanted to do he gave me the name of three good microphones and suggested I do a little research before purchasing. The one thing he did point out was no matter what I purchased I should get a Pop filter to go along with it. I had never heard of such a thing but took his advise and ordered this Dragonpad Pop Filter. Well my new computer system came in and a couple of days later a good supply of acessories from Amazon including the CAD U37 and the filter. Being handicapped I must rely on others for everything from opening the boxes to complete setup of the entire system. I also need to use voice recognition software which is the reason for the recording equipment. Once the computer technician left I called my sound expert to set up the mic, filter and software. The mic is USB so that was easy as well as the software. He waited to attach the filter until we could check everything out. Once all was set up we tested the mic and software and all work fine. We did some simple voice recording as well and all seemed great to me. Then he attached the filter and again made similar recording tests. The difference between the unfiltered voice recording and the filtered recording though not day and night was still much better with the filter. Now I understood why the filter was so important for him to recommend. There was no cracklings, no hum or noise like breathing, background noise like the stereo was almost non existent and my voice actually sounded better. For the cheap price of the filter I believe it's worth every penny. Set up was as simple as attaching the clam and adjusting the screen. I read that some have trouble with the attachment and I can see why. The CAD U37 comes with a tripod like stand and attaching was simple. Perhaps a different stand could make a difference for those with this problem. All in all the filter does make a big difference and I'm very pleased with the purchase. This item was purchased without any financial considerations and full Amazon retail was paid.

Probably not the most important component to improve the sound issue from your microphone, but it helps.

I bought this because my Ps were peaking in my recordings. This basically fixes it and saved me from having to buy a whole new microphone

Perfetto come da descrizione ottimo
