I have two Röde M2 (stage condensor) mics. Mostly they have been in my home studio, working beautifully. I took them out for one gig a month ago. They worked fine there, but when I tried to use them again at home last week they had both become very weak. I've tried different cables and different amps, but the problem persists. They're now a lot quieter than my SM58, having been significantly louder. It's not a phantom power issue, as when I turn off phantom power they go completely dead.
On Röde's advice I packed them away with silica bags for a couple of days, but it made no difference. I don't think they're still under guarantee so repair might well cost more than replacement, but before I give up I just want to hear if anyone has any suggestions. The fact that they both developed exactly the same problem at exactly the same time suggests that it's not caused by a severe drop or similar (which didn't happen anyway), so what on earth could it be? And is it fixable?
Thanks!
