More Gain on a 416T?

I'm having to crank the fader as well as the gain pot on my SD 442 almost
fully open to get a good signal out of it. When I use my other boom I have
no problem. And I have no problems with all my lav's .

I found that the 416T had more output than my Schoeps.....I think you
may have a duff 416T. Try it on somebody else's mixer in your area and
try and compare it to another 416T.

If it is bad I might be interested in purchasing it for parts.

i have the same problem with my recently bought used 416T - did you
ever find out the solution, or was it a duff in the end?

Mike,
I guess there was nothing wrong with it other than it doesn't have a great
amount of gain compared to my lav's or my other boom . I talked to a couple
of knowledgeable people and they say it is between 6-8 db lower on output
compared to a me66 and that's what it looks like on my mixer. I hate to have
to crank the 442 wide open to get gain though

thanks for that - i thought i'd probably damaged it at some point when
i accidently gave it P48 power!
6-8db sounds about right though - have you compared the T to the
416P48 ? i don't think you have to crank the gain on that - have you
tried the T on any other mixer? (SQN, Shure etc.)
cheers
