Mics banging over the Atlantic

[Jimbo]

I thought I'd share my recent experience, and see if anyone else has experienced the same.

5 weeks ago I ordered a pair of Beyer MC930s. They had to be special ordered from Germany.

I received them last Friday, and eagerly opened up the sealed case to find the mics out of their saddles, and resting against each other.

Damnnation!

I don't think they packed them properly. I find it hard to believe that the mics could possibly come loose from their foam cut-outs.

Upon close inspection I found dings and scrapes all over the casings -- yes, even next to the capsule.

So, back they go -- and I'll get to wait around for the next pair

FWIW, they do sound damn nice!
