Is the pop filter alone enough or should this be combined with anything else such as a foam or cloth screen over the end of the microphone?

The pop filter is sufficient enough. The foam mostly protects from dirt/debris/condensation. So depending on the environment you will use the Yeti in will determine whether you need the foam over the microphone.

If you wanna use it indoor, a pop filter is enough, this one is ideally large for the yeti. Foam has similar properties but is way more useful outside to reduce blowing noises like the wind.

I think that the filter should be enough because if you add a foam cover, it might drown out the sound and the audio will be quieter.

It really depends on the talent and the distance you have the filter from the mike, but it does it a pretty good job. Having said that, it's also fairly thin (by design), so if you have a lot of pickup or your talent is particularly breathy, you might need to beef it up a little (at the cost of clarity, of course).

Yes indeed, the "blue" pop filter is a universal pop filter that will work with any mic. I myself use a Samson mic with this filter.

Mine came with the standard 57-style microphone and a clip for a mic stand. If you are looking for a pop-filter, it would need to be purchased separately.

I would recommend that the expandable version of the SoundStation be used and with the additional microphones. The basis SoundStation would not capture everybody.

the pop filter filters your breathe from hitting the mic so it does not add unwanted noise to your recording and it also can make your voice sound better.

Not at all. I have my pop filter screwed in to my Blue Yeti, and I have full access to the 3.5mm jack and USB port.

Yes, carefully. Remove foam and pry apart the cover and install a new elect. element. I save elements from olf microphones. Radio shack stocks the elements. Glue it back together, or use tape, put foam back on. I taped the rear holes in the case before I put the foam back on. It seems to have less background noise. The original microphone element did't last long. You could go to Walmart and buy a cheap computer microphone and use that element.

I found the MXL 57 Microphone Shockmount (Black) to be the best as it has a screw connector that allows it to be placed on the stand where you need it. This would be my top pick for a good and easily mounted pop filter for this stand.

The built in pop filter does an okay job but I bought the foam cover and never hear it when using that.

It really does depend which manufacturer made your mic. If you paid <$100 for your mic, then I would suggest getting this pop filter. However you can also easily make your own pop filter if you wish relatively easily.

This device improves sound quality by helping prevent the impact of "plosives." These are low-frequency noises created when certain words such as "pop" or "box" are spoken. (Look up the definition of "plosive" on Wikipedia.) These create a brief pressure wave that impacts the microphone with enough force as to create a "boom" or "thump" sound. The actual impact heard depends on the microphone, the bass response of the system, the distance to the sound source, and the overall volume level. Some people speak with more plosive impact than others. Condenser microphones such as the Blue Yeti are particularly sensitive to plosives because of their low frequency response and the sensitivity of the diaphragm that generates the sound in the mic. The Yeti in particular has a tremendous low frequency response and must be used with some type of "pop" filter to avoid these "thumps" if the sound source is closer than a foot or so, depending on the volume of the source. A foam pop filter is often used on hand-held mics, but these can slightly degrade high-frequency response. For studio or desktop mics, a fine fabric or metal screen is used. Though these, particularly some metal ones, can modify the sound slightly, this is preferable to the harsh thumps created by plosives. Another benefit of pop filters is that they also prevent small droplets of "spit" from entering the microphone. When you're dealing with a mic that costs hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars, this is very important.

As long as you have somewhere to put it, any pop filter will work with any microphone. So yes.

Yes the pop filter comes off. If you attached your own filter then it would have to go on just like any other pop filter. Maybe attach to the mic stand then use a flexible goose neck or whatever.Actually the Rode filter is not bad

Use a pop filter, or even buy small pair of socks and put the mic in the socks. Pop filters also absorb excess saliva you throw at it, protecting your mic

If you work it with the cardiod pattern, work it close and reduce the gain you should be able to reduce the background noise. You could also surround the mic with a sound shield - I think Amazon has these three sided foam contraptions.

I've not used it professionally. I try to record voice for videos and find that it picks up ambient noise, but would likely sound washed out if several were attempting to use it at the same time. As mentioned before, it is pretty necessary to be directly in front of the mic and pretty close to get good audio. I picked up a pop filter because I was so close. I hope that this helps.

A couple inches is fine. You may want to order the foam wind covers to help with "popping p's". Also, be concious of where you are in relation to the speakers, as the mic may cut out.
