Shure SM58 Survives a 15-Foot Drop in Day 1 Test (Full Transcript)

[00:00:00] Speaker 1: Three, two, one. This is day one of trying to break the Shure SM58. Today, we're going to drop it from a high place. If you didn't already know, the Shure SM58 is pretty well known for being really, really indestructible, if not the most indestructible microphone that you can purchase. So in this series, we're going to be putting it through a series of tests to see how it can hold up and when it's going to break on us or if it's going to break on us. This is a brand new Shure SM58. It works. It's great. Literal mic drop. Yeah, I think we're maybe 15 feet up. All right, ready? Three, two, one. Ooh, that hurt. I thought it was going to bounce or something and it just like landed nice and flat. Oh, we're loose. We're loose right here. No wires are coming off, but we do have a really big dent on this right side here. It looks like that baby doll with the head dented in. Let's see how the interior looks. It looks just fine inside. Little scratch here, but honestly, it doesn't look that bad. Let's see if it still works. All right, moment of truth. Let's see if it still works. Oh, I didn't realize there's a little bit of dent in there. Testing one, two, three. Testing one, two, three. It's still working just fine. Audio waveforms popping up. I can hear it just fine in here. You can hear it because I matched it to the audio. Even though it has a couple of dents on it, still sounds and works great. Come back for day two and let us know in the comments which test we should put it through next.
