Microphone Accessories

Simply put, Microphone Accessories are odds and ends you can use to enhance your vocal experiences.

There are a few different microphone accessories here including mic holder clips, mic stands and pop shields. Mic clips screw onto mic stands to provide somewhere to place a live dynamic microphone for hands-free performance, some of our mic stands have an adjustable boom arm attached too for precise mic placement.

One of the more important microphone accessories is a pop shield, some may also know this by the slang term "de-esser". This term is derived from the pop shields design using a circular material to normalize high and low frequencies made from sibilant consonants in vocal recordings. This does change from voice to voice depending on the vocalists' tonality but if the lyrics being sung contain a P, S, J or Shh sound, those letters are pronounced in a way that most cheap microphones cannot comprehend in a consistent way.

Try recording your own voice saying the word pop, or do an impression of a snake with a pop filter and repeat without one and hear the difference for yourself. The same principle goes for the colourful wind guards we stock, but these are more adapted to outdoor events where the weather may get choppy and interfere with your public addresses or announcements.
