A pop filter, pop shield or pop screen is a noise protection filter for microphones, typically used in a recording studio. It serves to reduce or eliminate popping sounds caused by the mechanical impact of fast-moving air on the microphone from plosives during recorded speech and singing. Pop filters can also keep saliva off the microphone during recording.
The synthetic fur covers on microphones in video production are often referred to as a “dead cat” or “wind muff”. These funny looking covers can block wind from hitting the microphone, therefore reducing the wind noise from being recorded.
When recording video or audio outside on a breezy day, you'll probably hear the wind “cutting” your audio. Even a gentle breeze can completely destroy an otherwise perfect audio recording, especially when using a shotgun or condenser microphone.
