Well, I didn't have to cover it with anything (you dirty boys, get your minds out of the gutter!)
If I was gonna do anything sexual with this mic, I would be the one gratifying it - not the other way around!
Truth be told - while I didn't sleep with it in my bed, it was bedside and I found myself turning on the light several times just to pull it out and admire it. I would then return the room to darkness and try to sleep - but the urge kept striking me to look at it again. Finally nodded off in the wee hours.
This thing just sounds so nice, feels so nice and looks so nice.
It's hurting my current project - I am supposed to be working on something (that doesn't require miking right now) and I keep blowing it off to play with this mic.
Oh, the humanity!!
