Funny stuff! Honestly I wonder if the copywriter at EV really has his story correct! EV should know, but when it comes to really driving 16p nails the 635 is worthless. At best I could only get my trusty old 635 to drive carpet tacks! Now the 664, there was a true framing hammer of a mic.
Now if we want to remember some really bizarre EV mics the 644 was really a POS that looked like some kind of obstetrics device. Although useless as a hammer, the 644 proved itself useful in poking insulation into tight spaces in walls.
Geez, I swear at one time or another I've owned some of the most worthless mics in the world!
