MXL PF-002 Metal Pop Filter with 6 inch Perforated Screen and 13 inch Gooseneck

Engineered around a 6-inch perforated metal screen, the MXL PF-002 eliminates plosive bursts without dulling high-frequency detail. Its steel gooseneck and C-clamp mount secure to any standard mic stand, making it a rugged choice for vocal recording, podcasting, and broadcast work.

Overview

The MXL PF-002 is a professional pop filter built for demanding studio and streaming environments. Unlike fabric screens that absorb moisture and degrade over time, its single-layer metal mesh offers high acoustic transparency while protecting the microphone capsule from saliva and debris. The 13-inch gooseneck provides flexible positioning, and the C-clamp fits most microphone stands and booms.

• 6-inch diameter covers large-diaphragm condenser mics and dynamic broadcast mics.
