Patent ID: 8369556

Claim:
A microphone pop filter for attenuating plosive artifacts from an audio source, comprising: a substantially acoustically transparent material configured in use to be disposed intermediate the audio source and a microphone diaphragm and spaced away from the microphone diaphragm so as to provide an airspace therebetween; and at least two airfoil surfaces defined by at least two portions of the substantially acoustically transparent material, each airfoil surface oriented non-orthogonally relative to an axis defined between the audio source and the microphone diaphragm to deflect plosive artifacts from the audio source away from the microphone diaphragm, wherein each of the first and second airfoil surfaces includes a portion that is oriented at an angle of less than about 60 degrees relative to the axis from the audio source to the microphone diaphragm such that the portion deflects, rather than transmits the plosive artifacts.
