Neumann M147 (Click / Pop Noise)

[mactreouser]

Hi,
Neumann M147 was sleep for quite sometimes, today I woke it up and try to have some recording... Oh Lord, NOISE appears... like Click and Pop comes and go! Cables replaces, Inputs changed... no improvement...

What's wrong? any idea to troubleshoot other than cables?

Sounds like damp to me.

It needs to really dry out.

Appreciate your prompt reply!
I guess so! What should/can I do to help it dry out?

* Just powered up the adaptor for overnight?
* I got a dry cabinet, shall I put both in? (actually, my Mic all the while sitting in the box, but Adaptor placed outside on the floor with carpet)
* throw it in to a ziplock bag and filling up some Silica Gel Bags?

Hope to hear from you soon. Thanks again!
