Just wanted to share a recent experience....
A few months ago I bought an Aston Origin mic and was a bit disappointed in the low level of signal I got from it. After testing various pre's, interfaces etc., I tested another exact same mic and there was a 3 dB increase with the alternate one. Don't get me wrong, I love this mic. The smoothness, clarity, .....just fantastic quality waveforms.
I just wanted to say that this simple problem caused all kinds of frustration and that the same thing could happen with other mics. A mic designer said that this can easily happen during assembly.
Just wanted others to know that this can happen, so check out a duplicate mic if you are having a problem with it. It could just be THAT mic. (I guess the same could be said for any equipment.)
