Yeah, I know. But as I wrote almost at the end of the post, I live in Spain, and shipping to darktrain plus fixing them plus shipping back to me would probably take longer than I can handle: I need a good pair of mics sitting in my desk by Sept. 10th, when I fly to Amsterdam in order to do a pretty important taping on which a multicam project depends. So it's not the best scenario to be waiting for the mail to arrive while a good portion of the postmen are on holiday, if you know what I mean.
Thanks anyway for the help, Chris. Appreciated.
