Hi,
My name is Yuri and I'm from Brazil, been trying to get my first mic to mod and found a used AKG P220 for just $50 on the used market but one challenge... It is defective, I really want to try to fix it and would appreciate any directions on how to diagnose the problem, and what is happening... The mic is way quieter and with a constant "wind" noise even tho the quality of the recordings are great, I've noticed drop marks but on disassembly the circuit and capsule looks all intact, I have experience fixing electronics so if anyone wants to help me on this adventure just ask me for anything. Also it's connected to my Native Instruments Komplete Audio 1 Interface (with the +48V switch on) and the -20db switch on the mic is at 0 position.
