🎙️ Windscreen vs Pop Filter
💨 Windscreen
Fits on the mic. Blocks wind, breath. Foam (standard) or fur (deadcat). Stage, outdoor, video. Does not replace a pop filter for studio vocals.
🔇 Pop Filter
Separate screen in front of the mic (5–10 cm). Blocks plosives (p, b, t). Studio. Nylon or metal. On the stand.
🎯 When Which
Studio → pop filter. Stage → foam. Outdoor → deadcat. Podcast → pop filter or foam. Home → pop filter + reflection filter.
🧽 Foam Windscreens
📐 Design
Acoustic foam. Slips on. Black/coloured. For handheld (35–55 mm), SDC (18–25 mm), LDC, shotgun.
📊 Effectiveness
10–20 dB. Light wind, breath. Minimal effect on sound (1–2 dB on highs).
🎯 Best For
Stage, podcasts, conferences, video (light wind). Lavaliers — miniature versions.
🐱 Deadcat (Furry)
📐 Design
Long synthetic fur (10–30 mm) on foam/fabric. On mic or blimp. Grey/black/white.
📊 Effectiveness
20–40 dB. Strong wind (5–15 m/s). Reduces highs by 2–5 dB — compensate with EQ.
🎯 Best For
Outdoor video, reporting, film (boom), sports. Any outdoor shoot with wind.
🔇 Pop Filters
Essential for studio vocals.
📐 Nylon
1–2 layers of nylon mesh, frame 10–18 cm, gooseneck to stand. Classic. Gently disperses plosives. Needs cleaning.
📐 Metal
Perforated metal disc. More durable. Easy to clean. May slightly affect highs. More practical.
📐 Dual Layer
Two layers with air gap. Maximum protection. For strong breath. For broadcast.
🏠 Reflection Filter
📐 Design
Semi-circular screen of acoustic foam behind the mic. 30–60 cm. NOT a windscreen or pop filter — it's acoustics.
📊 Effectiveness
Reduces early reflections. "Drier" recording. Doesn't replace full treatment but helps.
🎯 Best For
Home studio, voice-over, podcasts. Combo: pop filter in front + reflection filter behind.
🎬 For Shotgun & Video
📐 Blimp / Zeppelin
Rigid cage around shotgun + deadcat cover. Standard for boom in film. Maximum protection.
📐 Foam for Shotgun
Long cylinder. For light wind. Simpler and more compact than a blimp.
📐 For Cameras
Miniature foam/fur for built-in mics on cameras, recorders, smartphones.
📏 Sizes
📏 Handheld Dynamic
35–55 mm. Standard. Must fit snugly.
📏 SDC Pencil
