A pop filter or pop shield is an anti-pop noise protection filter for microphones, typically used in a recording studio. It serves to reduce or eliminate 'popping' sounds caused by the mechanical impact of fast moving air on the microphone during recorded speech and singing.
A device that is used to reduce the "popping", distortion caused by overmodulation of a microphone, usually as a result of placing it too close to the sound source. It commonly occurs with the vocal pop screen, windscreen, or windshield.
A screen placed on a microphone grille that attenuates or filters out pop disturbances before they strike the microphone diaphragm. Usually made of open-cell plastic foam or silk, a pop filter reduces pop and wind noise
