I own a pair of the cheap Marshall Electronics MXL 990 condensors. They are really nice mic's with a great sound but almost a touch too much mid range.  Anyway, one of these things slipped through the el' cheapo shockmounts and fell grille first into the carpet. Ever since then I've had a really low frequency buzz show up on the monitor, I myself cannot hear it very well but it's a really low hum when normalized.  I'm not very good with electronics but if someone can help me out with what I can look for to fix this.
Thanks

Its probably just a broken/bad/intermittent solder connection on the circuit board. If you are good with this type of work, take the mic apart, inspect the board, and touch up the connections. I just fixed an Oktava MK012 with the same problem.

I=Terrible with circuitry but two of the guys in my band know what they're doing (one is an x-ray technition, another works on circuit boards for metal density machines) Thanks alot!

And you can always send it in to MXL, who will fix it under their three year warranty.

Hey thanx Harvey I'm gonna get right on that! (last time I order anything from Musicians Friend, tthey're my enemy, everything I get from them is either crappy or breaks on its own)
