The purpose of a pop-filter is to prevent what are called “plosives” and breathing noises from entering an audio recording. Plosives are a burst of sound that is created from “P” sounds.
We had an individual who is not in our group read a script to test the quality difference and see whether this pop-filter was a success. This is the script we used to record the audio:
“This is a test without (or with) the homemade low-budget pop filter. When you record your voice, the P sounds, such as push, pull, or pig, make a plosive. This can be prevented with a pop filter. ”
Due to limitations on this blog and upload compatibility, here are the links to the audio files with and without the filter.
