K&M 23956 Popkiller is a classic pop filter with a double nylon screen and a flexible gooseneck, one of the most recognisable studio accessories from König & Meyer. The round black frame with a double nylon screen effectively eliminates plosive bursts of air on b, p and t sounds, protecting the recording without affecting the microphone's character. It mounts without tools on all standard microphone stands.
Double screen and neutral filtering
A single nylon screen reduces air blasts, but close microphone placement and dynamic vocal articulation leave artefacts in the recording. The Popkiller 23956's double screen with a sturdy plastic frame splits the airstream across two nylon barriers without altering the microphone's timbre — the filter works mechanically, not electrically, so it introduces no colouration or change to the frequency response. A solution proven over decades in thousands of vocal sessions.
Flexible positioning and mounting
The flexible gooseneck lets you angle and position the filter at any distance from the microphone diaphragm, adapting to the vocalist's preferred technique, microphone placement and the engineer's requirements. The screw clamp fits microphone stand tubes up to 25 mm in diameter, covering virtually every stand with a standard tube layout. The filter folds to a compact size convenient for storage in a studio drawer or bag.
