I dunno, some of my condensors have higher SPL thresholds than an SM57. So much misconception.

Really, not sure where this "fragile condensor" thing came from. Ribbon mics? Yeah, THOSE are fragile, sure, but if you know how to position right, they've been using Ribbons 1-2 meters away from a Marshall stack for decades.

I mean, you often hear that if an engineer was to mic the bottom side of the snare, and they use a condenser for that, even if the top is miked with a 57. And obviously because the bottom is so much quieter than the top, right?
