Hi a few questions. 1. Is it a new mic if not is this the first time it happens? 2. Are you applying the rite phantom voltage 48 v and not less or maybe more? 3. Have you tryed it on a different pre amp and what's the results? 4. Have you tryed another mic on the channel and what's the results. Yes the NT1 gives a hot signal but it's not so hot that you'll peek without any gain on a propper pre amp, there might be something wrong with it.
