cknapper Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Hi all, Just wondering if anybody knew of a good acoustic shield surround to clip on a Mic when a sax or trumpet is being plated. You know the ones the plastic circle which goes next to the Mic. Cheers Carl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jammie300 Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Hi Carl, Just to clarify, do you mean a popper stopper, something like this: Clicky! The one noted above is a fairly decent Shure one which is quite pricey do you do get the quality HTH James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulears Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 While there could be a tiny benefit to a popper stopper on a trunpet, if the player had lungs of steel, very little of a sax's sound comes out of the bell - most escapes through the open holes, when the pads are up - even when playing the lowest notes, not an awful lot of wind is heard, compared to the sound of the instrument you want to hear. Trumpets have lots of power up top, but if you've ever tried to just blow a ttrumpet or any brass instrument without using the lips, it's a bit like those gadgets that test your lung function - there's no resistance and blowing out a candle at a foot is nigh on impossble! That's why nobody normally bothers that much - wind noise isn't a problem - and the small filters in most mics are quite capable of dealing with it.

IRW Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Carl, I know exactly what you mean, however I don't know what they are called! What I think he is talking about is a clear, cirular acrylic shield, about 6-8 inches in diameter which somehow attaches between the mic clip and stand to stop the majority of the sound going past the trumpet mic into whatever is in front. A little like a drum shield, but less obtrusive and for brass! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can cut centre hole to fit SM57 body & put some felt /rubber to give a bit of cushioning. Andi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
