Title: FIXED: Nak Active Mod Uneven Levels?
Post by: Patrick on October 11, 2005, 05:30:37 PM: I fixed this problem. I forgot to turn off the attenuator under one of the caps. I am such a dumbass, sorry to BM2 for posting!
--------------------------

Just got my active mod Cm300's back from busman2 today. they look great! +t to you chris.

However i am noticing already that one of the mics has a much lower output than the other. Not necessarily lower in volume, but in clarity, response, and just fullness of the sound. I tried switching channels, phantom power adapters, headphones, everything I can think of so far.

I wish I had another preamp to see if it's my UA-5 or my mics.

Any help?

EDIT: I even switched the caps. I basically have decided that it is the mics. This is so frustrating.

Just for the record I am not doubting his work, because I was noticing this pre-mod. I was just hoping that the mod would fix it, and I guess it's a bigger problem.
