I have no idea. I had permanently installed the trimmers so after I saw symmetrical clipping I reassembled the body and capsule and called it good. It's too much hassle for me to do the temporary trimmer install then try to find the closest resistor to what makes the circuit biased. It's mostly because I'm lazy, but for this particular build I didn't want to solder anything more than once.
If you're getting 6dB down you may not be getting a good connection to either pin 2 or 3 inside the mic at between the transformer output and the XLR. Or it could be because it is not biased.
For self resonance, I would send some pink noise at the transformer input and see if it's coming from that. I'm not familiar with the 3U GZT-84, but I don't know where else it could be coming from unless there was something off with the capsule.
Thanks!
