I contacted tech support and they had me send some files over so they could listen to the recordings... They thought that the microphone is defective and wanted me to send it in. Bah.

$70 for a brand new microphone and it was defective out-of-the-box. Plus $10 to ship it back to them... So far I've sunk $80 into a microphone that I haven't even been able to use. Nice. :P

If it turns out that the microphone is defective (which is a definite possibility from listening to the samples that you uploaded) then they should refund your postage charges and replace or repair the microphone. (if it is defective, then it is their reputation on the line, not yours ;))

I certainly hope they refund the shipping but if they don't I'm not going to fret over it... I just want a microphone that actually works. Heh. 8-)
