Maybe I missed something but what does the location of the gain knob have to
do with microphone performance.
I would be concerned if I had to run it at 100% because I would always be
wondering if I needed more.
As long as the microphone has good tone qualities (and/or punchy for DX) and
the optimum gain ends up at less than 100% the microphone is doing its job.
