Construction

An improvised pop shield, functionally identical to the professional units, can be made with material from tights or stockings stretched over a kitchen sieve, embroidery hoop or a loop of wire, such as a bent clothes hanger. It is important that the pop shield not be attached directly to the microphone, as vibrations will be transmitted from the shield to the microphone.
