Universal kit to protect microphones of any form and size from unwanted mechanical vibrations, wind and phonetic noise ("popping").
Consist of the renown SSM-1 universal noise suppressing elastic microphone support and the high precision, 5” diameter, double face pop filter.
This most recent configuration of the SABRA microphone modular system meets the need to position firmly, safely and with versatility any microphone, combining in a single set-up the renown SSM-1 universal noise suppressing elastic microphone support with the high precision, 5” diameter, double face pop filter.
Popping sounds occur particularly in the pronunciation of aspirated plosives (such as the first p in the English word "popping"). Hissing sounds or sibilance frequently result from the pronunciation of fricatives such as the sh in the English word "seashells". Pop filters are designed to attenuate the energy of plosives, which otherwise might exceed the design input capacity of the microphone, leading to clipping.
The SABRAS 5" Screens are made of special ortophonic fabric, creating hard phonetic noise attenuation, maintaining the frequency curve of the original sound.
The SSM-POP consists of the following items:
- 1x articulated arm, formed by a 200 mm hexagonal aluminum bar and a 150 mm hexagonal aluminum bar.
- 2x elastic suspension rings.
- 1x central elbow with ratcheted central axis, with a 5/8” universal female thread at its base, attachable to any conventional microphone stand.
- 1x 5” diameter double-face POP FILTER.
The significant firmness of the SSM-POP is due to the elastic suspension rings being attached to the 200 mm bar and to the pop filter’s 150 mm bar, creating a compact structure with the necessary flexibility to attach the pop-filter.
The SSM-POP, predominantly designed to be used vertically, perfectly accommodates larger and heavier microphones, like NEUMANN U87 or other similar large and heavy microphones, with extremely easy adjustment and locking, allowing conventional or inverted configuration, conserving the high performance of the microphone being used.
