Shure PS-6-TA – TAA-Compliant 6-Inch Gooseneck Pop Filter

Product Overview

The Shure PS-6-TA is a TAA-compliant pop filter designed to eliminate plosive noise and breath pops on cardioid and condenser microphones used in broadcast studios, podcast booths, and government-audio production suites. The 6-inch, 4-layer mesh screen attenuates low-frequency air bursts from "p," "b," and "t" sounds before they reach the capsule, keeping voice tracks clean without additional post-processing. An adjustable gooseneck and universal microphone stand clamp let AV integrators position the pop filter precisely in front of any handheld or studio microphone. Because this SKU is manufactured to TAA-compliance standards, it is the correct choice for federal, state, and defense-related AV procurement where Buy American sourcing rules apply.

Product Description

Plosive noise is one of the most common quality problems in voice recording and government hearing-room AV systems, and the PS-6-TA gooseneck pop filter is built to solve it at the source. Shure's 4-layer acoustic screen construction spreads and diffuses fast-moving air from spoken consonants across a wider surface area, reducing the low-frequency thump that a single-layer nylon screen lets through. The 6-inch screen diameter is large enough to cover full-size handheld and side-address microphones without restricting the talent's natural speaking position. A fully adjustable metal gooseneck lets AV integrators dial in the exact distance and angle recommended for a given microphone, and the assembly locks in place once positioned. The included clamp attaches to standard round microphone stands and boom arms, so the filter can be deployed with existing rack and podium infrastructure rather than requiring a dedicated mount. Because the PS-6-TA ships as a TAA-compliant, made-to-order SKU, it carries a typical lead time of 2 to 4 weeks and a price premium over the standard PS-6, reflecting the cost of producing a separate compliant production run. This makes it a practical fit for government, courtroom, and defense-related recording booths and broadcast studios where procurement rules require Trade Agreements Act sourcing. Facilities and AV integration teams outfitting hearing rooms, council chambers, or commercial voice-over booths can specify the PS-6-TA alongside other TAA-compliant Shure gear to keep an entire signal chain compliant. It is a low-cost, high-impact accessory that improves recorded speech intelligibility in any application where a presenter or witness speaks directly into a fixed microphone.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the PS-6-TA compatible with any microphone?
Yes. The clamp and gooseneck mount to standard round microphone stands and booms, and the 6-inch screen is sized to work in front of most handheld, side-address, and studio condenser microphones used in broadcast and recording applications.

How long does a TAA-compliant order take to ship?
TAA-compliant SKUs, including the PS-6-TA, are made to order with a typical delivery time of 2 to 4 weeks, which is longer than in-stock standard SKUs.

Why does the PS-6-TA cost more than the standard PS-6?
The TAA-compliant version is produced as a separate model variation to meet Trade Agreements Act sourcing rules, and the added cost of running a compliant production line is reflected in the price.

Who needs a TAA-compliant pop filter?
Government agencies, defense contractors, and any procurement office subject to Buy American or Trade Agreements Act sourcing requirements should specify TAA-compliant accessories like the PS-6-TA alongside compliant microphones and mounts.

How do I install the PS-6-TA on an existing mic stand?
Open the included clamp, attach it to the round section of the stand or boom arm below the microphone, and adjust the gooseneck until the screen sits 2 to 4 inches from the capsule, directly in the speaker's airflow path.
