I recall the event in slow motion...the mic stand slowly started to lean forward, entering a point of no return.
"Noooooooo...," I moaned as I leaped forward.
I was too late. The mic met the ground with a thud. The mic stand was set low, only about two and a half feet off the ground. A pop filter kinda sorta broke the fall a tad, but not really...
The mic still works, the sound quailty seems to be the same, but I've got the aching feeling only a studio dork like me can't shake...yesterday, before the fall, it was a tiny bit better sounding than today.
Somebody make me feel better...can a capsule withstand a knock of this magnitude unscathed, in theory? Or are all knocks inevitably damaging to some degree?
*cry*
Incidently, the TB1 is a great vocal mic. I prefer it, on my voice anyways, to my Neumann TLM 103.
