YOUSHARESSM7B Pop Filter for Shure Dynamic Vocal Microphone, Windscreen Compatible With RK345 and A7WS Replacement

Ok

Bueno

I wrote this as a product question, but Amazon deleted it.It will arrive crushed, but hold it under warm running water and squeeze it a few times like a sponge, and it will quickly return to the proper shape. Let it dry and you’re good to go.It’s a bit loose, but I held it in front of a hair dryer to tighten it up. It blocks the plosives quite well.

I added this to my Samson Q2U and found that it substantially improves the "pop" performance of the microphone. This combination provides you with an awesome mic at below $70.

Really pleased with this pop filter so far. I'm using it with a Shure MV7 (which is essentially a USB+XLR mini version of the SM7B). The MV7 is an excellent mic but notoriously sensitive to plosions. Replacing the inadequate foam screen it comes packed with is a must. Thankfully, windscreens designed for the SM7B fit it perfectly, and make a HUGE difference in sound quality. And, additionally, they make the MV7 look like a SM7B, which just gives your production suite a more pro appearance.I swap between two different windscreens depending on my usage. When I'm on camera, I use the Shure RK345 foam. It looks great (just like the SM7B), and sounds way better than the included MV7 foam. But it doesn't block all the plosives and is better suited to off-axis speaking a short distance from the mic.I use this larger, rounder foam pop filter for voiceovers where I talk close up on the mic. There's a noticeable improvement in plosive blocking over the RK345, and it's lightyears better than the MV7's included foam. I achieve that nice, clean, flat-but-warm NPR / audiobook narrator sound, and can get that Roman Mars signature warm-and-wooly tone, too.It's very easy to swap the foams. With a baseline level of care, this should last a very long time. Recommended.

It comes smashed because of the poor quality of the packaging, the chemical smell it’s a little too strong. The quality of the windscreen it self is not too bad though. In the picture it’s hard to see how bad is the “crack” on the windscreen but it’s actually bad, about 2 inches long and it’s deep and few other small cracks around the windscreen.
