Dan,
I use bat detectors and there is quite a lot of ultrasound around which we
are not normally aware of. I wonder if this is another case where an
extended HF sensitivity is the cause of problems, perhaps not in the mic but
in later stages.

Good to hear that the latest MKH's still work well wet.
