I dunno. Maybe a damaged element?  Audix's quality control is good, but 
maybe a bad one got through, or the thing got dropped on the concrete 
one too many times, or something.

There's no question that my Fireball is the loudest mic I own, and 
that's pretty much the story for the other folks I know who have one. 
You might want to send yours back to the factory for a look-see.  Or 
even just take it to the nearest full service musical instrument store 
and A-B it with another one to see if yours sounds the same.
