You may want to try Paul at Pro Digital out of Philadelphia.  The man is a magician.  A wizard.

I've used this dmic and have spoken to spoogles earlier in the week so I'll chime in with general notes.
It has the 'todd mod' gain knobs for adjusting between the switched steps.

I think he'd best describe the problem though.

deck gets power, levels pop from -60 to 0 with no correlation to the sound levels, monitoring on deck is only static.
called Graham-Patten and they said they would work on it so sent it out this past Monday. I am waiting to hear back from them. I'm hoping it's a blown diode or something and wont be too expensive to fix. anything under 150$ and I'll be as happy as a clam.

seems it was a shot dc to dc converter. 112$ to fix, not bad.
