So, when I record, I am getting a high pitched humming sound in the 500-650hz range. However, this only occurs if my microphone is at specific angles. For example, if the mic is at 6 oclock or 12 oclock, it is fine. Otherwise, it gets worse with this noise.
Here is the setup
- Rode Procaster XLR
- XLR cable into RME Babyface Pro
- Babyface into PC
- PC into PFC Power filter into wall.
Here is what I have tried:
- New XLR cable
- Different outlet (but my system is on a pure sine wave filter anyways, and should have no ground loop noises)
- Different USB ports
- Turn off all devices in room to ensure it is not from a source
- Detach mic from stand and move it around room (0 change, only the mics orientation changes it. But 6 oclock in one section of the room is perfect no matter where in the room it is... The angles do not change if I move the mic)
- Decibel measurements around room, nothing.
- Encasing the microphone in sound proofing, still happening... so I really don't think it is picking up the sound at this point.
The only things I have not checked are a new microphone, which I plan to check soon. Or a new interface. However, either of those just logically do not make sense to me for this problem. If anything, maybe the microphone.
Has anyone had anything even close to this before. I am at my wits end on this. I have spent countless hours troubleshooting.
