RODE K2 Polar patten

Hi there

I have a K2 problem - i posted this in another topic before but only got one reply (thanks for that though)

While changing the polar pattern on the power supply - the signal goes ' nuts' for a few seconds - it eventually sorts itself out and recording is possible. .ive placed a JPEG of this happening here...

RODE K2 Question

Ive been in the Vocal Booth section asking questions about micsthis question is about the RODE K2.
I placed it here hoping to get a quicker response.
From what Ive read,the K2 is a great mic for vocalsmy question is-does the mic sound "too tubey" at times,ot does it have a natural sound do it?

CAD M9 vs. . . RODE K2

So I'm looking to pick up a decent mic for my project studio and from reading reviews and getting several opinions these two mics come up the most as the best in my price range. Any thoughts? I'm stuck with a dbx 386 pre and a PreSonus blue tube, though of course I'll be looking to upgrade to perhaps something from UA when funds allow.
Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated.
