Congratulations to the winners of our MusicTech and Music Production Expo 2016 Pop Audio Giveaways
We recently ran two competition giveaways, giving musicians, singers and engineers the chance to win one of the excellent new pop filters produced by Pop Audio. And we’re pleased to announce the winners of each giveaway, which we ran alongside MusicTech and the Music Production Expo 2016.
MusicTech – Pop Audio Giveaway
The first giveaway we ran in co-operation with well-known music production and technology magazine MusicTech. Pop Audio's pop filter was recently reviewed by the magazine, receiving an outstanding 10 out of 10. Reviewer Mike Hillier also gave it the magazine's “excellence award”, describing it as “quite simply the best pop filter we’ve ever seen”.
The winner was Stephen Green, who sent us a picture of him in his studio with the pop filter installed.

We also gave away two Pop Audio Studio Editions to visitors to the Music Production Expo in Milton Keynes last month, where we exhibited a range of new products from our brands. It’s our pleasure to announce the winners of our MPX giveaway are Andrew Palmer and Ed Hazard.
Both Andrew and Ed were kind enough to let us know their thoughts on the pop filter. Andrew told us, “I am very impressed with the build quality, stylish appearance and ease of use of the Pop Audio Pop Filter – it would definitely be worth the purchase price had I not been lucky enough to win.”

Ed also gave his opinion. “It seems a great quality piece of kit and will help us out lots with vocal tracking (as they do!). We've been using it while working on a live synth/vocal sequence – it's a much better pop shield than what we’ve previously been using!”
Thanks to our winners for sending us pictures of themselves in their studios, and thanks to everybody who entered. Be sure to look out for more competitions from us, as we'll be giving away more great prizes in the future.
What makes the Pop Audio Pop Filter such an impressive piece of kit?

Reviews have also been very positive, with the likes of Sound On Sound, Audio Media International, Production Expert and ReaperTV all praising the unique and ingenious design. It was also recently chosen by AMI in their Gear of the Year, winning the accolade of best "Studio Solution" released in 2016.
In his review for Audio Media International, Simon Allen said "I honestly can’t find anything bad to say about this product. There are plenty of areas where the product could have quickly failed, such as the neck’s ball joint system not being stiff enough, or the clamp not gripping mic stands of certain diameters. However, Pop Audio has designed something extremely practical out of quality parts that I’m confident will last."
