While the popularity and affordability of desktop USB mics have made home recording more accessible, some manufacturers didn't take compatibility with standard pop filters into account.

This is where Auphonix came in with their specially designed clamps that conveniently and securely attach to popular USB desktop mics like the Blue Yeti.

The Auphonix pop filter features a double mesh filter design and comes in a round shape that is 6" in diameter (also available in a smaller 4" version). It also features an adjustable gooseneck for precise and stable positioning.

Features

• Double Screen Mesh
• 6" Diameter Filter Screen
• Adjustable Gooseneck
• Designed for the Blue Yeti Microphone
• Also works with other desktop mics

Pros

More and more are taking their time to write good reviews for this affordable pop filter, and a good number of them describe in detail how they are satisfied with its overall performance. From its ability to block pops, to its versatile gooseneck and clamp design, many consider it as the best choice for home recording studios that utilize desktop USB mics.

Cons

There are a few who reported that the rubber pad on the clamp gave out after some time. So just be careful when using the clamp so as to not scratch your microphone.
