Same here!

Yes, unfortunately, the AT on the AN1x is pretty touchy -- too touchy for my liking.  It both presses down too easily, and too early, for my playing style.  I like an AT that you really have to torque down on to make it work.

>...is this faulty ?? .... is there a fix for this ??

None that I'm aware of.  :^(  I suppose that you could add an "AT level" slider/knob like my D-50 used to have, but that would only fix half the problem (the light pressure).
