Plosives are strong blasts of air that create a massive pressure change at the microphone’s diaphragm, and happen most often with strong p, t, k, and b sounds.

To lessen the effect of plosives, we use pop filters on the microphones that help shield the mic from the plosive sound.

Sometimes, plosives are inevitable. Luckily, there are ways to fix them in post production.
