Worked and THEN FAILED

At first I loved this microphone. The sound was crisp, clear, and it picked up great. But, I had stopped using it, and it sat in a controlled space for a few weeks.. I go to use it again, and nothing. It picked up faint vibrations, but did not pick up my voice at all until squeezed at the point where my voice alone is to go. There is a short of some sort in this design. Badly done!! Seems like a knock-off as well. Unfortunately, at this time, I had already passed my return window, or else I would have returned it. So, I tested my interface and cables with another mike, all worked well. This microphone is cheaply made, and is not worth the money. Sad, because so many people are saying its good. This microphone is NOT A WELL MADE MICROPHONE. It should last through non-use. Never abused, gently handled. There is no excuse for failure such as this. I am used to handling electronics, since that is one of my fields, and for something to fail all of the sudden is a manufacturing error/fault. Very disappointed.
