Dented Blue Yeti Blackout microphone mesh

Croum

I dropped my blue yeti microphone and it landed on the mesh, denting the top and hindering the audio quality, anyone else experienced this problem with a fix?

If it affected the audio quality then that means you've ruined the condenser capsule inside and you will need to buy a new mic.

That will only fix the dented mesh, not the broken mic inside.

How bad is the audio quality now?

If it isn't horrible maybe you can still sell it on craigslist for less money, or if you manage to push the mesh back into position such that it looks like new maybe you can get away with asking for an RMA from Blue, just saying "it isn't working properly, I don't know what happened". :P
