Hi All,
So today while trying out a new mic stand I accidentally dropped my beloved sm57 mic.
It fell on the grill/head, pointing down vertically, but it was only a 3-4 inch drop, so I'm kind of still surprised that it's no longer responsive and disappointed too given the mic's reputation for toughness... I unscrewed it (middle of mic) to check the soldering joints and the green/white wires are still soldered so I know it's not that.
So sounds like it's a diaphragm issue?
Is that typically fixable by a local electronics repair type guy?
I talked to one shop and he said he couldn't fix it if it's a diaphragm problem. Not sure what else could be wrong with it.
Thanks,
TR
