So,
my stupidity has hit its zenith.
I left my $400 Studio Projects C3 in its stand for the past couple days, because I've been using it off and on. So, the cable attaching it to my mixer runs behind my chair, and the wheels kept bumping into it, and that's not good I imagine, so I went to move it. This, in turn, sent my stand crashing to the couch then to the floor, slighty bending the upper casing and knocking the top right off of the mic. It was about a 4 foot drop in total. So, after screaming out some swears and sweating tears from all pores, I put humpty dumpty back together again, and with aching muscles tested her out. I looked at the diaphragm, no apparent cracks or anything. I switched to all of the patterns, yadda yadda, the mic still reproduces sound without any noticeable strange sounds being added, which is a good thing.
What I'm wondering, which is my question to you all, is regardless of the fact that it still seems to work fine, do you think
that this dreadful fall would change the mic's quality of sound?
Like, the frequency response, sensitivity, etc.?
I probably (hopefully) will never notice any difference, but I'm just curious.
In conclusion, I know I'm a freaking idiot, especially since similar, less harsh events have happened before and I didn't learn the first time round. This time I've learned my lesson, which should have been automatic via common sense, and I discourage anyone from replying simply to emphasize the fact that I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer. I know.
