4.1. Positioning for Optimal Performance
The primary function of the Neumann PS 20 a Pop Screen is to prevent plosive sounds (e.g., "p" and "b" sounds) from reaching the microphone diaphragm, which can cause undesirable "popping" noises in recordings. Proper positioning is crucial:
- Distance from Microphone: Position the pop screen approximately 2-6 inches (5-15 cm) in front of the microphone. This distance allows the pop screen to effectively dissipate air blasts without being too close to the sound source.
- Distance from Vocalist: The vocalist should be positioned approximately 4-8 inches (10-20 cm) from the pop screen. Experiment with this distance to find the best balance between plosive reduction and vocal clarity.
- Бұрыш: Ensure the pop screen is directly between the vocalist's mouth and the microphone. The flexible gooseneck allows for precise angular adjustments.
Ескерту: The pop screen is acoustically transparent and should not significantly alter the frequency response of your microphone. Its purpose is purely to manage air pressure from plosives.

5.1. Тазалау
To maintain the hygiene and appearance of your pop screen:
- Экран материалы: Gently wipe the fabric screen with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. For minor smudges, a slightly damp cloth with plain water can be used, but ensure the screen is completely dry before storage or next use. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Gooseneck and Clamp: Wipe metal and plastic parts with a dry or slightly damp мата.
- Дезинфекция: If disinfection is required, use an audio equipment-safe disinfectant spray on a cloth, then wipe the screen. Do not spray directly onto the screen.
5.2. Сақтау
When not in use, store the pop screen in a clean, dry environment, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid bending the gooseneck into excessively tight angles for prolonged periods, as this may weaken the internal structure over time.
