It may be that the SM58's can get knocked around, but I know from experience
that NO ONE is impressed when an engineer puts a couple of these up. It's
all about LOOKING the part - and people are far more impressed with
fancy-looking microphones like 44's and 10001's.
Most of audio engineering is about LOOKING the part. Most people can't hear
the difference, anyway.
