Microphone Pop Filter Metal Mesh Screen in 304 Stainless Steel (AISI 304 (1.4301)) is used for breaking up the air blasts from P and B sounds in front of studio, podcast and streaming microphones with a thin perforated metal screen. The alloy gives good general corrosion resistance in atmosphere and fresh water and is essentially non-magnetic (annealed), with a practical service limit of approx. +450 °C continuous.
