Hi Derek--
Mine was increasingly sputtering and they replaced the capacitor. It
helped. The school's brand new one sputters at times. Assuming
Sennheiser put it on the test bench and found it up to spec and
assuming there is something fairly irregular about its noise
performance that you can record, is there a way you could use or
borrowing another mkh to run beside your 30 for comparison when the
30 is sputtering? Rob D.
