Again, I have to set the gain to near maximum to get proper levels.
Alan,
The CM500 has always had an electret mic, which requires bias, although
the data sheet has always called it a dynamic mic. As a test, turn off
bias and see if that changes anything. If it is a dynamic, turning off
bias should make it work better.
My WAG is that what you bought might be a counterfeit. My experience
buying all sorts of things in the last 5 years (kitchen tools, shoes,
etc.) has been seeing lots of what appear to be either counterfeit or
cheapened versions of stuff I'd previously owned and wanted a second one.
