Hi Diki, thanks for your quick reply,

I only bought the BK9 last week and when I tested the mic input in my room I think it was through headphones.
The phantom power switch is on.
The mic volume knob was full up and that is why I pushed the frequency gains all the way up.
The mic is fine, I did my first BK9 gig last night and put the mic through my mixing desk as usual.
I will set everything up right now and try one of the factory settings and play it through my Roland studio speakers and get back to you if that's OK.
