• We strongly recommend the use of a pop shield or

ﬁ lter for all vocal recording. These aid in minimising

plosive sounds (hard ‘P’, ‘B’, ‘T’ and ‘K’ sounds)

that produce a sudden jet of air which can cause

the capsule to overload and produce a ‘popping’

sound.

• Any moisture on the microphone capsule can

cause problems for condenser microphones,

however the use of a pop shield or wind shield

(optional accessory WS2) will reduce the risk of this

occurring.

• Placement of the microphone and pop shield

relative to the vocalist may be varied on several

factors including room acoustics, the vocal

performance, and whether the vocalist has a high

or deep voice.
