While I can understand the desire to drop a KSM32 on the floor and drag it around I can equally understand someones unwillingness to allow that to be done with their U87

OooooooF!

I guess I walked right into that one!

My point was about the rugged and reliable nature of Shure's design philosophy versus the delicateness of other "studio" mics.

I've always liked the shure mics, very solid and good quality sound. The only thing I drug around on the floor is the band leader one night when he started the last set with "Old Time Rock and Roll" for the 100th time!

Sorry, what can I say...it was an easy shot and I took it.

One of the great dilemmas in my life is whether I would rather have a dollar for every time I've played that song or would pay a grand never to have even heard it.

I lay awake all night sometimes.

It's very sad.
