Homemade Pop Filter for the Micro BR

[Ted]

Since so many people in the forum seem to prefer the built-in microphone, I thought some might want to see this homemade pop filter I made.

Parts:

• Plastic Container
• Pantyhose

Tools:

• Knife
• Hot Glue Gun (to stick the lid on permanently)
• Paper punch

Hey! Nice post. I did the same thing for my external, but used pantyhose, a wire coat hanger, a rubber band, and some duct tape; a real professional job. I saw a pop filter the other day for $30 and thought: "Are you kidding me?!" I'll try to post a pic of mine later.

If I can get the pics to load, I'm real interested in what you did with the BR mic.

I had trouble uploading the images to the forum (it said 0 KB).  I uploaded them to my Web site and now they ought to work.

Ah, there they go. Maybe there was a server delay or something. Who knows. BTW, awesome idea!

Cool idea!  If boss released a version of this it would cost 30 bucks!

And come with a warning that use of a non-Boss pop filter may damage your unit and will void the warranty.

Not only does the MicroBR facilitate musical inspiration, it also stimulates breakthrough engineering prototypes.

I just finished reading the autobiography of Ikutaro Kakehashi, the guy who started Roland, and who we all owe a big thank you, and the lesson is that you think it it up, build it and see if it will fly. His engineering skills were fairly advanced but the spirit of invention cannot be repressed.
