Hey, there was indeed a little bump in my224, which I actually always
thought was around 600Hz, but I still heard it from a distance.
When the HF element died, I put a fresh one (AKG had a spare, amazing!) and
the low mids suddenly flattened.
Side note: I ordered a complete dual assembly for my 200, AKG had a few left
(!!!) but the HF element was OUT OF PHASE with the LF element!!!
After correcting the problem, the mic performed well, although I had to
re-tune the X-Over to flattened the low mids (again).
