RODE Microphones K2 - Manual (Page 12)

• We strongly recommend the use of a pop shield or
fi lter for all vocal recording. These aid in minimising
plosive sounds (hard ‘P’, ‘B’, ‘T’ and ‘K’ sounds)
that produce a sudden jet of air which can cause
the capsule to overload and produce a ‘popping’
sound.
• Any moisture on the microphone capsule can
cause problems for condenser microphones,
however the use of a pop shield or wind shield
(optional accessory WS2) will reduce the risk of this
occurring.
• Placement of the microphone and pop shield
relative to the vocalist may be varied on several
factors including room acoustics, the vocal
performance, and whether the vocalist has a high
or deep voice.
