I have a Behringer B5 condensor mic with a major problem: there is an occasional (every five to ten seconds) tapping or popping sort of noise in its audio which seems to be coming from inside the mic body. (I. e., it's electrical or due to some internal defect.) Sometimes it's quiet but sometimes it's quite loud.
I've tried the mic with two different cables and in two different inputs and it still makes this noise. Other mics do not have this problem with the same cables and inputs. I also tried both the directional and omni capsules and I'm still getting the noise. I also get the noise even without a capsule attached. All three rolloff settings produce this noise. Jiggling or adjusting the cable connection does not seem to affect it.
Can anyone offer any advice related to fixing the problem as well as what might be causing it?
