>> Yes, I should have put KX3 in the text as well. Sorry for the confusion.  I've had a few suggestions offline, which I'm going check out.  These involve mic gain and eq settings.  I already have the mic gain set pretty high but haven't touched any iq settings.  I guess I may have to resort to reading the manual. ;-)

I assume that it's a fairly simple operation to replace the ic element with another one.  It looks like there are just two phillips screws holding on the cover of the element box at the end of the boom.
