XD-V70L Mic -- Better Pop Screen Available?

Our company is using two of the XD-V70L systems to deliver PowerPoint presentations.  We have two speakers, each equipped with one of the systems.  One of the speakers is a very animated, excited talker, and we're finding that the small pop filter for his mic is not filtering out his excitement very well.  We were previously using a Shure analog system and didn't have this problem with that system (using the WL185 mics and their stock pop screens).  Other than this problem, we're very happy with the XD-V70L systems but would like to know if there is a better pop screen to use with these.  If Line 6 doesn't have one, any recommendations for another brand/model of screen that would be appropriate for these mics?

    RE: XD-V70L Mic -- Better Pop Screen Available?

    Hi,

       

      Even the thickest pop screens can't stop every plosive. Your best bet is to EQ at the board.

       

      Usually a low pass filter around 80 to 120HZ should stop or drastically reduce the plosive noise. 

       

      Thanks,

      David

      Thanks for the quick reply.

       

      Unfortunately, our board is a rather basic one -- Allen & Heath ZED10 -- which has only three-band EQ.  It does have a high pass filter button on each channel (which I assume is what you meant by "low pass filter" -- high pass = low cut).  I had that HPF engaged, and I also had the low-frequency knob turned all the way down for the presentations.  For all I know, maybe that did eliminate a lot of them.  But enough are getting through to be distracting.

       

      I know that the Shure WL185 mic came with a slightly bigger screen, and we didn't have any problems with that one.  Which is why I was hoping that a slightly larger screen on these mics would do the trick.  Or is the mic itself (regardless of screen) more susecptible than the WL185?
