Myth 1: in polar patterns they leave out shotgun mics. I can only assume this is because Shure doesn't make any shotguns.

Myth 2: is this even a Myth? I've never heard this, and I've often heard the opposite because almost no store has a proper listening environment.

Myth 3:Totally bogus I think. With a (relatively) flat response microphone you can EQ it to suit your needs. How hard is it to put a HPF on something? It's much more difficult to get rid of preset EQ's built into mics. I like flexibility ergo flat=better. I don't need the Beta 52 to tell me what it thinks a kick drum should sound like.

Myth 5:Yes condensers can be built to a very high tolerance to give similar reliability to a dynamic, but the simple truth is there are more parts to fail in a condenser. More parts to fail, Murphy's law states, that they will.

Myth 7: yes USB microphones could theoretically sound as good as their full analog counterparts, however out here in the real world they almost never do. Main reason is cost. USB mics are marketed to home users who don't want to have to buy all the parts to a decent recording system. Putting the microphone, preamp, and ADC in one small package usually reserved only for a microphone, and then doing that to a (usually low) price point, is going to equally lower quality. A proper modular system in addition to being more flexible, is almost always going to sound better. The closest thing to an exception to this rule is the Neumann Solution D series, but they aren't USB, just AES, and they're ridiculously expensive.

Myth 9: Phantom power can damage mis-wired ribbon microphones, which are dynamics.

Does Shure make these?
