Build Your Own Microphone Pop Screen
I went to my local Guitar Center last night looking for a foam pop screen to fit on the capsule my Neumann mic, to keep dust particles out. I don't put my mic away each night- but need a nice cover for it. I needed one slightly longer than the one I already have to no avail.
I'd like one that's about 3.25" high. Or I could use a nice dust cover cor the mic when it's not in use.
Perhaps a clean tube sock? I think not. I need some type of microfiber that won't put lint into the capsule.
If anyone has a suggestion, I'll take it.
I already have a very nice metal, washable mesh pop screen that I've used.
While searching for the foam screen I came across this information-packed page on making your own pop screen for under $10!

Great research job, Bobbin. You're bound to help lots of followers with this one!
I, too, am looking for a suitable cover for my mic. Your comment about lint makes me realize that hanging a washcloth over mine is not such a good idea. I'll watch your blog for better suggestions.
Keep Smiling!

Thank you Caroline! I appreciate your comments. Still need to find the time to search for a larger wind-screen mic cover! Let me know if you find something.
