Sorry if this is in the wrong forum, but I've been wondering about this for a few weeks. I use my Focursite Scarlett audio interface for all sounds coming from my desktop, and also always have my Shure SM58 plugged into it. Is that going to wear the mic down to have it plugged in all the time? I usually have it pushed to the back of my desk, so it's not like it's picking up sounds all the time because it is an amazingly quiet mic, but just wondering what everybody thinks. Also, since it's an analog mic and doesn't require phantom power, I was just curious.
