Nov 18, 2008 - This is important for condenser mics and ribbon mics, but for the mic in this video(SM57) a drop won't do any damage. Those things are tough as hell!

HowAudioTV Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - Agreed. Poor use of prop. A 57 can be fired through a cannon and still sound great on a gtr cab. Ideally, take the mic off the clip first.

Nov 18, 2008 - Or you can just plan ahead and cover a 30 foot radius around the base of the mic stand with blankets, packing peanuts and very soft flowers. In this business you must think ahead!!!Great little tip that is probably overlooked every day in every studio around the world... except mine - of course!Thanx Rog... can I call you Rog??? Like in "Rodge"??? :)
