Not trusting capsules that had banged around their housing, I sent them both back and vowed to never buy used Blue mic's again.
When Blue mic's ship from the factory they have pins (or screws?) that hold the capsule in place for shipment. People probably discard these with the rest of the packaging material. A used Blue mic from ebay is always in jeopardy, better yet, unless the pins were saved I promise the capsule will be free in the casing if you buy a Blue mic from ebay. |
thats unfortunate. i bought my used kiwi and it came with the screws in it.
