Tracking vocals today. RODE K2Tube condenser mic. In the middle of a lyric, the mic preamptty much stopped working. Still had a signal but was about one tenth of the volume it should have been at. The singer for some reason pulled the pop-stopper off of the mic right before it crapped out. Checked the tube and it appeared to be fine. Would spit hitting the diaphram cause a short or something? Maybe the cable was jarred...would this cause the problem. It uses a 7 prong female thingy so I didn't have another cable to try. Any suggestions? Any help would be much apprieciated! Thanx! -matty

How did you check the tube? This definitely sounds like a tube
How did you check the tube? This definitely sounds like a tube issue. Is your unit still in warranty? They'll replace it for you if it is.

I agree sounds like a tube went..
Those cheap chinese tube they put in there are not prone to long life...If Im right those are 6072 tubes
I got some nice Military Phillips 6072's off of ebay
that had much better detail and warmer sounding..
So look for some NOS or used non -Chinese 6072's
they will last longer and sound better..
