1.     Separate the Mounting Arm and the Gooseneck

Pop filters consist of two main parts: Gooseneck and mounting arm. The foremost thing you are supposed to do is to separate the two parts. Don’t get me wrong man!

Separating the two parts doesn’t mean tearing them off or making them two different entities. No! You don’t need that. Just unscrew the two parts, so the connection is loose and conducive.

2.     Lock the Gooseneck Between the Screws of the Mounting Arm and C-clamp.

Easy and important step it is. After unscrewing the components mentioned above, you need to lock the gooseneck tightly between the screws of the mounting arms and the screws of the C-clamp.

3.     Unscrew the Mounting Stand of Yeti

After the pop filter is ready to connect with the blue yeti, it is time that you put effort to prepare the blue yeti. For that purpose, you need to take off the pre-integrated mounting stand screws in blue yeti.

Keep in mind that you only need to remove screws from one side of the yeti and not from both sides.

4.     Give the Final Touches

Once the screws of the mounting arms are removed and both the equipment are ready to connect, give these final touches. In the final hour, you need to connect the mounting arm of the pop filter to the exposed side of the blue yeti.

Once both parts are connected, tighten the screws that you previously unscrewed. Speak into the microphone to see if the sound is clear. If the sound is not clear, repeat the process with added focus and concentration.
