Filtering Plosives As everyone knowsâwell, maybe not everyone but certainly the folks at the Oxford Dictionary companyâ"a plosive is a consonant that is produced by stopping the airflow using the lips, teeth, or palate, followed by a sudden release of air.â In English the plosives are b, d, g, k, and p. When you record speech, a sensitive microphone picks up the plosiveâpoppingâsound. The result is an amateurish audio track. But there is an inexpensive solutionâa pop filter. This device uses mesh to break up the airflow andâin essenceâstrain out the unwanted pops. Pop filters can be purchased for around $10. You can even make one yourself using fabric from a stocking or other similar garment.
