Product Information
Full details
The On-Stage Stands ASVS6-B Microphone Pop Shield is an essential accessory for podcasters, vocalists, and home studio recordists looking to capture clean, professional audio. By effectively diffusing plosive consonants like 'P' and 'B', this tool eliminates unwanted clipping and distortion while maintaining the natural character of your voice. While its clothespin-style clip is highly versatile for quick mounting, users should ensure the gooseneck is properly tightened to maintain position on heavier boom arms.

FAQs
Will this filter affect the high-end frequency response of my microphone?
No, the micro-weave nylon is designed to be acoustically transparent, meaning it blocks puffs of air without cutting high frequencies.
Can I use this with a handheld dynamic microphone?
Yes, it works well with any standard microphone stand setup, regardless of whether you are using a condenser or dynamic mic.
Is the nylon filter removable for cleaning?
The filter screen is fixed to the frame. It is best cleaned by gently wiping the surface while it remains attached to the gooseneck.
What is the diameter of the filter?
The filter has a diameter of 15.2 cm (approximately 6 inches).
Can the clip be attached to a desk edge?
The clothespin-style clip is designed for microphone stands. While it may attach to thin desk edges, it is most stable on cylindrical mic stand tubing.
Troubleshooting
The filter keeps drooping or moving out of place.
Ensure the gooseneck is bent in a gentle arc rather than a sharp angle; if it persists, use a small cable tie to secure the gooseneck to the mic stand shaft.
The clip slides down the microphone stand.
Wrap a small piece of rubber or friction tape around the stand shaft where the clip attaches to increase grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your pop filter, open the clothespin clip and secure it onto the shaft of your microphone stand. Adjust the gooseneck so the nylon filter is centered in front of the mic capsule, ensuring it is at least two inches away from the grille to prevent interference. Compatibility is broad, as the clip is designed for standard tube diameters found on most industry-standard mic stands. To care for your filter, simply wipe the nylon screen with a clean, dry microfiber cloth after use to remove moisture. If the screen becomes heavily soiled, a very lightly dampened cloth can be used, provided the screen is left to air dry completely before the next session.
