In this video, the speaker explores modifications to the Shure SM58 microphone to reduce plosive sounds. They test techniques like foam, tape, and nylon mesh, comparing them to the unmodified microphone. The most effective modifications involve stacked discs and nylon mesh with foam. Further experimentation with different mesh types is recommended. The video demonstrates the complexity of modifying the SM58 and includes frequency response analysis and testing with pink noise. While the modifications show promise, there's room for improvement, especially in mesh selection. Viewers are invited to try these modifications and provide feedback.
