What's the low down on the metal pop filters?

To my knowledge they don't absorb some of the sound like nylon filters. which allow the tones and frequencies to pass, but still blocking plosives and air (pops)

?

...here's one from Peluso mics that's a particularly good value (about half the price of the original Stedman version)...I use them and they're excellent!...more "transparent" sounding than nylon screens...

...and, no, I don't work for Peluso...I just appreciate a good deal on a quality product...

Get an embroidery hoop and go to your local cheapo store and pick up some stockings - cut the stockings and fit to the embroidery hoop whenever a new shield is needed (or covered in spit).

You can even alter it's properties by using it doubled up or by using stockings of different dennier rating.

Cheap easy and very very effective.
