Bugger. Stupid flimsy mic stands! I've pushed the wire mesh in on the front of mic..kinda bends inwards like a semi-circle. Its not too bad but damn...not a happy camper. Still sounds fine luckily
 
Bummer. It's traumatic whenever ANY of our babies get hurt. But at least it wasn't an $800 baby!
 
i wonder if its like a 57 in that the more beat up they look the better they sound :D
 
Hey it adds character!..thats what i keep telling myself in the dark hours of the night :(
 
I offered to fix this for Brett, but he lives in a country far away, but I did contact him to tell him how he can fix it by himself. So yes, be glad it was not a real expensive mic, but it sure does sound like an expensive mic...
 
Word, Dude- On Stage SB96+. Buy it at macmidimusic.com. $80, and you'll never drop that mic again, or another like it.-Richie
 
Yeah..glad it wasnt a $800 mic, but still...its a nice looking mic! I'll make sure that doesnt happen again.
 
Brett,

Surprised at how heavy this mic is...keeps wanting to fall forward. But there certainly is ways to get around it..thanks for your suggestions!
 
The cheap way out is to find some old barbell weights at a yard sale and put them on your mic stand's base.-Richie

If you use a boom arm, shorten its length, If the clip is slipping as a result of the weight of the mic, you need to tighten it. Click Here For Help
 
Yo C7! Nice link! Those are real men's mic stands.-Richie
 
Well thats shut me up! I think you could work out with one of those stands! Yeah thanks Allan, i did tighten up the clip a bit..and yes..my boom was poking out quite a bit.

lol. If it was a SM57, the mic would be just fine but you'd have to plaster the wall. :D
