Hi all, just received a T.bone RB100 shipped from Thomann to me here in Australia, and had been reading about how fragile they are, etc, but also how sensitive they are meant to be, noted that I had to dime the gain on my preamp to get a decent signal out of it placed around 40-50cm from an acoustic guitar. The recorded signal sounded great, but just curious if I should be getting more gain out of it or if it would indicate it might have been damaged in transit or if this is the signal level I should expect?
 
yeah I think your ribbon is fine. just be careful handling it; don't drop it; don't blow into it; AND don't turn phantom power on it; it will most likely damage it.
