really shouldn't matter, are you having brickwalling/overloading issues? If so then the only way to remedy that is the 4.7k mod or running them how they are intended which is 3 wire(mini xlr's on both with phantom power supplies)

What he said.
IIRC, this has been tested by Chris Church. They will perform up to specs with  any voltage from 9V and above.
4.7K mod and three wire will improve performance though.
