Proscreen XL - Black

cleaned up all my heavy harsh loud vocals, doing all kinds of deathcore or even hardcore on this thing! I legit can scream and never worry about plosives, my vocals just come through so clear. love this thing!

From listening to my test recordings on my pre-production rig, I could immediately distinguish the clarity of the Stedman vs. your general nylon pop filters, which I've used for years. I haven't used it in my main studio rig yet, but I already know it will be an improvement. I really like the sturdiness of the clamp and gooseneck. I also like that you can see the capsule of the mic better, which leads to better placement. I imagine this will be the last pop filter I will need for several years, as it is washable. My only gripe is the price. It's a little pricier than I'd like to pay for a piece of perforated steel mesh on a gooseneck, but hey, you get what you pay for (so it's not really a gripe, is it?!). Looks like I'll be purchasing another for my pre-production rig in the near future.

I'm a songwriter and use high-end digital recording using my iMac to produce excellent results except those darn "pops" while singing. I've tried creating my own filters (hoop and sheer stocking) with mixed results and most of the commercial are based along these lines. This filter uses a screen that diverts the puff of air downward and away from the mic. It really works! The tone is slightly crispy but that is easily fixed in the EQ. Pops are a real pain to fix. These artifacts create clipping which in the analog approach creates some interesting effects but in digital recording sounds awful. Every studio needs a pop filter and this one is worth the price. Also, it is sturdy, connects to my mic stand well, and made in USA.

Two stars because I did receive my order quickly, and the parts I received seem sturdy, but there seems to be a screw missing that attaches the gooseneck to the mount. Ordered a replacement. Will follow up once u receive the replacement. UPDATE: Three days later. Five Stars. Received replacement which is in perfect condition (there was a nut missing from the first pop filter I received). This is a great pop filter not only because it works beautifully but I can look THROUGH the filter at my copy! No weird angling of my mic or positioning my head to see around my nylon mesh pop filter.

Is this the "magical saving grace" for your recordings? Probably not. Is it better than fabric or other metal pop filters? Yes! Is it worth the $50+ price tag? Perhaps. First and foremost: this pop filter DOES work. And its design works as advertised as well! You can physically feel the air being pushed downwards after exiting the filter. However, it doesn't perfectly capture every plosive every time. Like any filter, a strong enough hit can make it through. Microphone angle/ position, and voice over technique are still required to get the best out of the filter, and save your recordings. If your fabric filter is causing a noticeable dip in the high end and if your other metal filters aren't cutting it: give this a shot. The filter is large, but light, and the gooseneck is pro quality, capable of bending to even the strangest of angles.

This a really good pop filter. I still store in the box when I am not using it. I bent it all sorts of ways and it has not let me down one bit. I like the fact that this isnt a typical fabric pop filter, so it makes it easy to clean. I havent found a reason to get another pop filter. You can use this with or without your mic wind screen. I find that I use mine most of the time, because I feel I get a little more clarity. I filter clipped to a DR Pro mic stand stand.

I had a much more expensive louvered pop filter from a very well respected company, and one day when I went to put it onto the mic stand, the screen just snapped off! I had been holding off on the Stedman because I didn't know much about the brand but now that I bought this one I am most stoked. This one is slightly larger than the one that broke, the quality of the Stedman is better than what it replaced, and the sound between the two is identical as far as I can hear. I had thought my original was the best pop filter on the planet, but now I know that the Stedman is better; well worth every penny. (If you're one of those folks with a wire and nylon pop filter, you really need one of these. These louvered filters sound SO much better than nylon mesh.)

The Stedman is the Truth!!!! I have used a cheap $20 pop filter from Guitar center that is worth $7 bucks here on amazon which is crap compared to the #Steadman Pop filter! I love amazon, because how honesty every one is and how cheap it is, and fast the product arrives. I personally would Highly recommend this for any amateur to professional studios that need an upgrade, or just starting out. I LOVE this pop filter and it was $46 bucks, which is a steal Vs. Guitar center whose selling it for a mere $70 plus tax :0 Anyways (Peace & Light)
