  • Hey Duck is that one of those indestructible mikes? The ones that you can drop down the stairs and still use? If so maybe you could pound nails with it.

  • No, it's not. It's actually a very delicate studio condenser mic. Pounding nails would be a bad idea.

  • @TimeElf1 I heard Sure SM58 are tested on dropping from 2m or so, but even though the audio circuitry and everything survive, the top cover will still bend considerably. It will work, but it will be really ugly and dented on the top (realized that when mine fell out of my pocket (0.5m) onto the street.

  • that is really surprising

  • @thegeekgroup we never saw the second camera cut

  • @cerealguy500 remember current is inversely proportional to the voltage

    amplifying the voltage causes the current to became very small (Power stille thesame 75KW). the wires are more affected by the amount of current

    flowing in it..(voltage amount doenst affected the wire that much)

  • Farraday Cage, if that mic is all metal casing, that metal case carried away the current safely from the sensitive electronics inside. Simiple Farraday Cage, from the late 1800's Energise a man, inside a metal cage, even if millions of volts, the man inside is safe. Current is carried away through that cage. Farraday's Law. Spelled Farraday wrong I know.

  • the "p48" will stand for 48 volt phantom power

  • @ShovelAndRake in practice they do, but we usually speak of them going in the other direction. but the clue was that the metal body and mesh around the electronics had a lower resistance, so almost none of the electrons took the path of the electronics

  • Into ground? Electrons move from negative to positive, don't they?

  • @nanu0332 eat me!

  • u r just a noob!
