Hi - thanks for your question. The pop filter doesn't add anything like distortion etc. What it does is reduce the velocity of moving air that will cause plosives, which are generally perceived in low frequency blasts of air. On some voices, it may attenuate just a hair of high frequencies, but not to a point of being troublesome. Thanks again for your question.
Great demonstration video so thanks! As a new RE20 customer I'm loving my new microphone. I watched most all of your microphone reviews and I'm a bit confused as to your stance on pop filtering. In one of the video's you state "it's a really bad idea..." and yet in here you demonstrate a pop filter.
At 0:18-0:25. So many plosives while talking about "substantial pop-filtering already built into the mic." I love my RE20 to death, but let's not ignore the irony here.
I don't think there's much irony, as the EV RE mics have some of THE absolutely most efficient built-in plosive-protection, when compared to other broadcast mics. For proof watch the broadcast mic comparison on the Podcastage channel. Add to that the effectiveness of the Variable-D tech, and the EV mics are in another league than Heil, Shure, Røde. At least in my book (and mic locker:)
5 year old comment or not, I would like to mention that we are not hearing a pop at that time stamp! That is the sound of air moving through the grille!
Hey EVMicGuy, I love my RE320 for stage vocals, and have been using it exclusively for the past 4 years. However, the steel screen on the top is now massively nasty and rusty. I have scoured the web for a way to buy a new screw-on replacement for the top of the mic. Do you have any idea how I might be able to buy that part for the RE320? Thanks!
i've had a pop filter on my RE320 for about 5 months. Just took it off and actually like it more without it.. It might be my voice but the filter makes it sound muffed with it on....
That WSPL 2 is the best pop filter I've ever used. I don't know why but the cheaper generic foam filters don't actually work that well. WSpl2 also fits on so many different mics, extremely useful.
Even though this was said 3 years ago, I would like to add my input as a new buyer of an RE320. For live use like streaming, the mic wont always be perfectly on axis, it seems better in general to have protection all around the grille and also to protect it from potential moisture.
@@dreamtheater_92 That's a wonderful mic, I definitely understand. Good mic technique makes that one a great all rounder really. I went with an RE320 for some room for error and my use case

@@Tazmanian_Ninja Turn the mic to a 45 degree angle and problem solved.

Really! Can you explain how a bit of foam costs £20 here in the UK? Ridiculous price it should come with the mic and you’ve just proved that .

I totally agree. The pop filter removes a lot of the airy highs that make this mic so amazing for vocals.

There's lots of difference between various foam windscreens. I've tested quite a few:)
Why would I use a WSPL-2 and not a BSW RE320POP filter? www.bswusa.com/Pop-Filters-BSW-RE320POP-P7872.aspx

@@skorpers I have since switched to a Røde Procaster, which has a built-in pop filter.

Just an FYI. The WSPL-2, wind filter style pop filters also make great dust covers if your mic sits out all the time.
Go figure... I think I shall remove the additional pop-filter I placed in front of my EV320 right now...
Which gives you a whole lotta Ps 😂🌹
