I know that some people may be upset on principle - and to a certain degree I sympathise - but after thinking it over and having a chat with various people who are used to this kind of thing, I think that I'd be ok living with this. I don't consider it a show-stopper really. The question is whether the ramp up in gain is in an area that will be used a lot. I don't own any mics that require a huge amount of gain (although I would like to try some ribbons at some point) and I tend to close mic when working. Plus the ramp up is a little more extreme than I'd expect, but not totally unworkable. I think that I can consider this a 'quirk' rather than a complete failure.

Saying that, if it is possible to fix then I'd probably go down the path. But I won't lose any sleep if it isn't. I love the sound and the features on this (and the price) which is what is important to me.
