no offense, this is one of those times you send your mics back to neumann, drop the 50 bucks or whatever it costs, let them fix them and check all the parts.  they may see something you might not see wrong with the mics

I'd be suprised if it took longer than a month Bean, I think Neumann turns them around in a few weeks.
