It doesn't have to be another KSM8. Do they have an SM57? As long as
it's new and wasn't built on Monday morning (risk of getting it
assembled wrong) and you know the cable isn't miswired, you can compare
it to any other "correct" mic.
And even if you get it wrong, who's going to know?Â* 
Yeah. I suggested that they set up a known-good mic on one channel, the
KSM8 on the other, pan centre, with levels matched each separately. Then
see if the sound is weird when talking into both held closely
together, or better with the capsule wiring reversed. Then choose the
'best' wiring option.
