You didn't hear the beeping sounds? Did you listen with headphones? Computer is in a different room. So is phone. There is an iPad nearby though.

Hi, recently I'm noticing that my recordings sound like this: https://instaud.io/F9e (I just cut together various pieces where I heard it, but I basically hear that whining/beeping intermittently throughout the recording from beginning to end now on every recording) I am using a Shure SM7B...

Oh, wow, thanks! There aren't any AC vents here, and my AC units are off (it's cold here now). But maybe the mic is picking up on my computer in the other room. Also, I'm pretty sure the "dog bark" is me sighing/breathing lol Thanks! I was actually looking at the Heil PR40, but I wasn't sure...

Hi, Jeffery, it's hard to find space isn't it?! Could you clarify - would you not use a gate or noise reduction plugin on that track because you think it's beyond help or because you don't think it's needed? I just use Audacity for recording and post-processing. Thanks!

The computer is in a different room. There aren't any electronics on in there other than the mic and the preamp. So that worries me. I don't know what it could be picking up. But if the noise is barely noticeable, then that's good to know. Thanks!

Hi, so I returned the first mic and got a second e100s. I do think I hear some noise and that the noise floor seems a bit high, but maybe I'm driving myself crazy at this point? Here is a short clip: https://instaud.io/BIc#0:00.0 Is THIS mic okay? Or too noisy? Losing my mind.

What are the symptoms of moisture on a capsule? My room is very dry since the heating was turned on in my building, but maybe it was stored in a humid place before I received it.

Hey, so it's definitely the mic and I can definitely return it. I own another mic, and it works fine with all of my other equipment (that mic is just lower quality, so I'm looking to upgrade a bit). I'm just not sure if it's worth getting another e100s since CAD seems to be having QC issues, or...

Thanks for your replies, all. Appreciate it. DaleVO - I experimented with the HPF engaged and not engaged as well as with the 10 db pad engaged and not engaged. They made no difference. They created some sounds (pink noise?) whenever I flipped any of the switches. And one weird thing: If I...

Hi, all, I do voiceovers (mainly commercial and audiobooks). After some research, I purchased a CAD e100s yesterday. But it sounds awful - tons of noise. And this mic is supposed to have a very low self-noise profile. I now see that there are several reports of quality control issues with CAD...
