Cad KBM412...or the audix f12?

I own a Cad KBM 412 and it is my second one (the first one was destroyed in a studio mishap). My first one was a very good mic (the replacement not so much). It is not a strong signal. Almost as if it has a 20db pad built into it without a switch to change it.
I find use for it as a throat mic for a djembe or a big dhola (large bass doumbek) using a crisper mic on the skin side. In that application it works well and ads a roundness to the mix, and it being a weaker signal mic is almost a benefit.
I don't know the Audix F12 by my advice for the Cad is to stay away from it for what you are needing it for.
