Boy, the russkies sure know how to make something that

IMHO the only possible fault would be incorrect wiring of
the actual XLR output plug - everything else should be on

Agreed. A common form of mic construction has wires from the receptacle on
the mic to the circuit card. Often the mic screws apart in a way that allows
the circuit card to slide out. A few minutes with a multimeter, and you know
which wire goes to which contact on the receptacle.
