Middle Atlantic Product's Music Accessories line now offers the new Split Screen Pop Filter. The $45 unit uses APDT (Air Pressure Dispersion Technology™), one of many innovations that makes this screen very effective in filtering breath-caused plosives. Though this new filter may look like a typical hoop-style pop screen, upon closer inspection, it is easy to see that it's an all-new, re-engineered design.















The Split Screen Pop Filter uses two fully washable, 90-percent nylon screens. The two screens face each other and are in durable, molded-plastic surrounds with textured finishes and non-parallel internal surfaces said to prevent frequency resonances. A 1-inch air gap (open on all sides) separates the screens. This air gap is key to the filter's efficiency. In use, the first screen diffused the main brunt of air blasts and then the middle air gap and surrounding openings vented the wind sideways. Finally, the second screen diffused what little forces were left before they hit the mic.















The pop screen's dual surround has hardened threads and screws onto a 13-inch gooseneck that easily conforms to any shape or position. The gooseneck stayed in any position without a fight because of its dual-wound construction: a steel coil inside another steel coil.















The stout, — ⅛-inch steel C-clamp mounting bracket, called an Omni-Clamp, has a brass clamping screw with a knurled tension knob. The padded return added extra grip and makes for easy attachment to most mic stands or booms without knuckle-busting tightening or scratching. Both the Omni-Clamp and the gooseneck are coated in black chip-proof E-Coat™ — an environmentally friendly electro coating that's stronger than paint.















The Split Screen Pop Filter is a simple and effective device that can take all the punch and energy out of the worst “p,” “b” and “t” sounds without drastically removing the high frequencies. It's a must-have for studio vocal recording, voice-over or radio announcer work.
