Mackie PF-100 Pop Filter for EM Series Microphones

The Mackie PF-100 is an on-microphone pop filter designed for Mackie EM Series microphones. It helps reduce distracting plosive sounds created by strong consonants such as P and B during speech, singing, streaming, and recording. By placing a physical barrier in front of the microphone capsule, it supports cleaner vocal capture before audio reaches the recording or broadcast chain.

This compact accessory is suited to podcasters, vocalists, live streamers, online instructors, and content creators using a compatible Mackie EM Series microphone. It is particularly useful for close-mic vocal work, where bursts of air can create low-frequency pops and thumps. The PF-100 also helps keep the microphone area cleaner during regular vocal use.

The PF-100 uses a curved screen shape that follows the profile of the microphone and keeps the setup compact. Its direct, on-mic attachment avoids the desk-clamp and gooseneck hardware used by many conventional studio pop filters. This makes it a practical choice where desk space is limited or a streamlined recording setup is preferred.

Designed specifically for the Mackie EM Series, the PF-100 attaches directly to the microphone with included elastic bands. The screen is not height-adjustable, so its placement is determined by the microphone and the fitted attachment position. This focused design keeps the filter close to the mic while preserving an uncluttered workspace.

In a recording or streaming system, the PF-100 complements the microphone, stand or boom arm, audio interface, mixer, and monitoring equipment already in use. It is a passive accessory and does not require power, batteries, cables, or software. Add it when clearer vocal technique and reduced plosive noise are priorities for compatible Mackie EM Series microphone setups.

Design & Installation

The Mackie PF-100 uses a compact curved pop-screen design intended to sit directly over a compatible microphone. Its small form factor is designed to preserve a tidy recording area while placing the filter close to the vocal pickup point. Mackie specifies a product size of 3.4 x 2.4 x 3.2 inches and a weight of 0.2 lb.

To install, stretch the included elastic bands around a compatible Mackie EM Series microphone and position the screen in front of the capsule.
