Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of CAD Audio EPF-15A Pop Filter on 15-Inch Gooseneck
Customer Review: Dual layer, effective
Summary: 5 Stars
Does what it claims. Once you have it, if you try blowing through it all the airflow is diffused. Seen worse products in professional studios.Customer Review: great item
Summary: 5 Stars
It works to filter out the "puffing" noises that speaking "p's, t's, and d's" makes. Works great!Customer Review: May as well pop for it
Summary: 4 Stars
Frankly, I'd never heard of a "pop filter" until my popping p's and b's came into consciousness at the same time that this device popped into my field of view on an Amazon web page. I'll bet that a couple of layers of women's nylon stockings would be just as effective, but this contraption pretty much purges your elocution of the offensive phonemes (they're called "plosives"). I'm still hearing the "s" phonemes (sibilants) along with some guttural artifacts ("back" vowels prefaced by an "h" that ignite a momentary gargling effect), but this filter doesn't purport to be able to do anything about those buggers.
As for the price, after seeing the gooseneck, the base, the generous-sized screws, etc., I'm prepared to say that this one is fairly valued (I doubt that the Shure or Blue pop filters, at almost double the price, offer anything more than brand-name status). The hardware and build-quality are about as solid and heavy-duty as you could wish for. (I know I'll never be able to blow it away.) Unfortunately, the clamp seems designed to fit on a mic stand rather than a computer screen, which is almost a half-inch too thick.
Customer Review: A very good pop filter
Summary: 4 Stars
I liked it and bought a second one. I once bought another brand that has a spring clamp, and it is useless. The clamp on the CAD is a much better design. The only problem is that it will not clamp to the thinner parts of a stand. I got around this problem by clamping it over a cord harness, or onto the boom housing. It just needs something wide enough to catch the tightening screw. It fits the bottom part of a stand, but that puts it too low to reach the mic. Other than that, it's built well and is easy to adjust. I've also tried models with a single layer of material. They don't stop the pops as well as the double layer type, such as the CAD.Customer Review: great for the price
Summary: 4 Stars
I have had no problem with slipage off the stand with the screw mount or issues with it bending out of place (unless bumped). Great flexability - handy when I switch mic's I don't have to adjust the filter too much. the filter isn't the best on the market, but it gets the job done. Definately a must have for the home studio frugal.
