how the heck do these magnets maintain their orientation on this pop filter?

Question

I’ve been wracking my brain trying to figure out how this magnetic pop filter knows which way “up” is and doesn’t just spin around the bar. Especially given the diagonal orientation of the microphone.

Answer 1

Center of gravity is on the bracket side of the bar so it wants to rotate that direction and is stopped when it hits the v supports. Centers of gravity can be deceptive. I bet if the mic were tilted farther away from the filter and you pushed it over further it wouldn’t come back.
