Ok, I'll buy that - presumably the 'autogain control circuit' is in
the mic, Mike? (New component, new phenomenon....) But why/how is the
waveform pulled down from the 'centreline' or is that just a 'software

Its not the mic, it looks more like the recovery of an amplifier circuit
thats had a sudden and gross overload - like walking into a wall when
****ed and the time taken after to realise what happened ;-)
IMHO, a well designed mic amp that is relatively impervious to mains
splats etc isn't likely to be found outside good pro gear. And I wouldn't
trust any fitted to a PC sound card.
