Didn't, but I did get some info on the inside tests the 4006 actually
survived at Bruel & Kjaer during development and I do not consider the
SM58 to be a likely contender in the fall onto concrete floor category.
And there was also those Electrovoice demos .... didn't get to one, but
heard firstear hearsay.

Kind regards

Here's some now. Lou Burroughs traveled with an EV 635A, an 8-inch "2X4"
and a small PA. He would demonstrate the mic was working, unplug it (to
protect the PA) and smack the board two times. Then he'd plug it back in
and show it was still working.

One time, it failed! A wire in the head had to be re-soldered. It then
passed production QC. Lou looked at his notes. The mic had smacked the
wood about 15,000 times before the failure.

I saw this demo at least two times. I used the EV 635A on dozens of
vocals. That bogus YouTube SM58 video is comic relief.
