Default Why do singers put their mouths against microphones?

You'll often see Elton John with a huge foam ball on the mike which
appears designed to keep him away from the actual microphone. This
is another good trick for mike-eaters.


BSW has a pop filter for RE20/RE27/PR40 that does a great job of
keeping the talent's lips off the grill.

Neat indeed!

Kind regards

It would be great of the company would make a version of this one for
the SM57/SM58/Beta 87. It would look like crap on camera, but it
could be useful in non-video environments.
