4.1. Positioning for Optimal Performance
The primary function of the Neumann PS 20 a Pop Screen is to prevent plosive sounds (e.g., "p" and "b" sounds) from reaching the microphone diaphragm, which can cause undesirable "popping" noises in recordings. Proper positioning is crucial:
- Distance from Microphone: Position the pop screen approximately 2-6 inches (5-15 cm) in front of the microphone. This distance allows the pop screen to effectively dissipate air blasts without being too close to the sound source.
- Distance from Vocalist: The vocalist should be positioned approximately 4-8 inches (10-20 cm) from the pop screen. Experiment with this distance to find the best balance between plosive reduction and vocal clarity.
- ມຸມ: Ensure the pop screen is directly between the vocalist's mouth and the microphone. The flexible gooseneck allows for precise angular adjustments.
ໝາຍເຫດ: The pop screen is acoustically transparent and should not significantly alter the frequency response of your microphone. Its purpose is purely to manage air pressure from plosives.
