Does Ripping Mic Tape Fast Damage the Mic?
I've had this knowledge repeated to me for 6 years at my high school, and I honestly have no idea if it's true, I've just been repeating it because it sounds true. I tell my actors, "As long as I'm running this sound board you take that mic tape off slowly." For reference, we use Acacia Audio LIZ Pro Earset Mic element and cables. We put the tape directly on the mic on the cheek, as well as a loop at the base of the neck (no actual tape touching the mic).
I'm really just trying to figure out if the statement above is true for all taped microphones, or if it's just a rule my director made up.
