Don't blame the mike for that. They were designed to be loaded by a
transformer input. Put them into a modern transformerless preamp and they
will ring like mad.

Paul Stamler's trick of adding a 600 ohm shunt resistor in a barrel connector
fixes the issue.

Yes. I have a bunch of XLRF-XLRM adaptors with the shunt R inside for
that purpose. I use 750R.

Doesn't help a C1000 though .... ;-)
