I use 2 Firepods chained together and this problem only happens on Channel 3 of one of the Firepods. When I have a microphone requiring phantom power hooked up like a LDC I don't have any problems. But if a Dynamic is plugged in like an SM57 or a Beta57a, I'm getting a loud buzz. It also doesn't happen with a phantom powered dynamic like my Blue kickball.
My question is what can I do to fix this? The Firepods will only apply phantom power to 4 preamps at a time, so I can't simply turn off phantom power all the time. Luckily today when I was tracking drums I was able to just throw the mic to the unused section (group of 4) of my second firepod and I could keep going but if I'm doing a "live in the studio" type of recording I won't necessarily always be able to do that... I've got some "live" stuff coming up next month.
EDIT: I meant to post this in The Rack, sorry.
