Whether you're recording vocals, podcasts, voiceovers, livestreams, or professional music sessions, unwanted plosive sounds can ruin an otherwise perfect take. The Stedman Proscreen XL Metal Pop Filter is designed to eliminate harsh "P" and "B" sounds before they reach your microphone while preserving the natural clarity and detail of your voice. Unlike traditional fabric pop filters that can slightly color or dull recordings, the Stedman Proscreen XL uses a patented metal screen design that redirects airflow away from the microphone capsule without interfering with sound quality. The result is cleaner recordings, improved vocal clarity, and fewer retakes. Handcrafted in the USA and trusted by recording studios, voice actors, podcasters, and musicians worldwide, the Proscreen XL is built to deliver professional performance session after session.
Key Features
Patented Metal Pop Filter Technology: The Stedman Proscreen XL features a patented metal screen that works differently than traditional fabric filters. Instead of simply diffusing bursts of air, it redirects airflow downward and away from the microphone capsule, preventing plosives before they can affect your recording. Preserves Vocal Clarity: Many mesh filters can reduce high-frequency detail. The Proscreen XL's large metal openings allow sound waves to pass through naturally, helping maintain vocal presence, clarity, and detail. Large 6-Inch Recording Surface: The oversized 6.125-inch screen provides a larger coverage area than many standard pop filters, making it ideal for singers, podcasters, voiceover artists, and performers who move while recording. Heavy-Duty Adjustable Gooseneck: The flexible 13-inch gooseneck allows precise positioning in front of virtually any microphone. Easily adjust the filter to the perfect location for your recording setup. Ultra-Fine Rubber Surround: A protective rubber edge surrounds the metal screen, helping protect microphones and studio equipment while maintaining a professional appearance. Durable Studio-Grade Construction: The filter screen and mounting hardware feature a rugged powder-coated finish designed to withstand years of studio use. Unlike fabric filters that can stretch, sag, or tear, the metal design remains consistent over time. Easy to Clean: The metal screen can be cleaned quickly and easily, making it an excellent choice for shared studios, podcast setups, and professional recording environments.
