The folks at Musician’s Friend wanted to see what a Shure SM58 microphone would endure and still produce sound, so they put it through three different torture tests – going for a swim in the ocean, being run over with a truck, and being barbecued on a grill.
The results are, unsurprisingly, that the mic takes a beating well.
Has Stone Cold Steve Austin really fallen this far?
I would have liked to hear the ocean mic after it dried out, to support his claims that it would have sounded “good as new”, but man is it fun to watch that thing go spinning into the ocean!
