When you vocalize a word using a plosive consonant (like "b", "d", or "p"), you expel a relatively large mass of air forward out of your mouth. This is normally not a problem, unless you're using a microphone with a sensitive diaphragm, in which case the air mass may overwhelm the diaphragm. The pop filter stops the mass of air without sacrificing the audio sound of the plosive consonant.<br /><br />I *knew* all those long nights in the recording studio would come in handy one day!Jim Evanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16744470953840993252noreply@blogger.com
