DIY: How to make a cheap Microphone Pop-Filter

How to make a cheap pop-filter

Hello everyone! If you're watching this is because at some point
you needed or wanted to try a pop-filter.
So, in this video I'm going to make the cheapeast pop-filter possible, in just a couple of minutes and with very
common and inexpensive materials:

1 - The materials:

- wire (1,50€)
- women socks (1,40€)
- pliers (there's always one around somewere)
- scissors (the same as above)

2 - How to make it:

- Find a circular form and wind the wire around it, so you can make a
circular shape. Turn the end a bit so you can close the circle. At this point the structure is
finished.
- Put the sock around the hoop, the only problem here is that the
wire you have might be too thin and doesn't support the pression, but it
should be alright
- cut the excess of the sock with the scissors
- Wind tape around it for fixation

3 - How to use it:

- Just wind the wire around your mic support and adjust the
pop-shield at your own taste.
- You can add some kind of foam or tape to the part that will have
contact with the mic support in order to avoid it from scratching

There you have it! A cheap and working pop-shield!

I'll try to make some more video of DIY home recording stuff as I need them. I also made
a sound cabinet for about 10€, but didn't record the process.

Cheers, and nice recordings to you!
