I tried a RS electret element I have here and the audio is distorted and weak - do I have a bad element or am I doing something wrong? I wired the element directly to the mic wires bypassing the transformer in the mic with no cap or resistor. The red wire and audio to pin 1 and the ground to pin 7. Guess I'm clueless when it comes to electret mics!
