    Manufacturing Error
    Just opened the box, put the mic in the stand and it fell over. Upon further inspection I found the nut was mid-threaded and is completely useless. Other than that good quality audio so far but now I have to hold it by hand until I can find a replacement part, so that’s annoying.
