Where Do Old Shure Microphones Go When They Die?
PSW Staff 05/27/10 08:51 AM, 1 CommentSooner or later everyone knows that their electronics will give up the ghost, but somehow we’re still shocked when it happens. Just like all electronics, eventually a Shure microphone has been subjected to so many years of abuse that it can’t be repaired and must be discarded. Befitting a product whose specialty is taking a beating, the journey to that great road case in the sky ends . . . well, with another beating. When a Shure product can no… View this post
