A shorted cable can damage input of the preamp, if inserted with phantom on, because input capacitor sends -48V to the base of the input transistor. A simply clamp diode for each transistor avoid any damage. If a microphone has an output transformer, a shorted cable can magnetize its core...

mp3 encoding have been studied, tried and optimized for end-user music delivering. No modifications should be done after encoding, because encoding have already kept only essential information for human hearing, discarding all the ones that are not essential. Another encoding would affect...

The good of the 1202 is that it's very compact. For this reason, although I have a Spirit Folio F1, I have modded the 1202 adding: - a PRE/POST switch for the FX send (singers need a PRE aux) - a phones pre/post main fader (for listening mixer out with the fader closed or at a very low level)...

Sorry, it is different from other mixers of the family... I have an old Xenix 1202 in the closet, then I looked at it thinking that the 502 has only less inputs, but I didn't remember it is more a preamp than a mixer! :-) Then, the answer is simple: Dear Duck, you need a different mixer... :-(

You have to feed the fx send to the computer and open the send only on the mic channel. You can double the output by a Y cable.

My 835's are different from yours... :-D

...but much less than a '58!...

835's?... Are you sure? I have them. You can also see on the graphs they are omni at low frequencies.

A cheap mic with low PE is the Sennheiser E835. You could try it.

Please also note that in production there are some tolerances, then two SM58 can differ each other 1 or 2dB at some frequencies! Then, a 57 can sound brighter than a 58 but also than another 58!... In an old catalogue, Sennheiser was publishing graphs with a +/-2dB mask...

Check open circuit voltage on mixer input by a digital multimeter.

If you had a similar noise with a different mic, it is clear that noise comes from the preamp.

I have designed a processor-controlled simple, fast smart audio cable tester. In a moment it displays by one a few LEDs if a XLR/Jack/RCA (also a mix of them) is ok or phase inverting or unbalanced or defective and what is the problem. It can also detect momentary faults and display them for a...

You only invert signal polarity, similar to a 180° phase shift for a periodic signal like a typical audio signal.

Keep in mind that a good mic vs. a very cheap mic has many advantages: Better sound: a well tailored response (not simply a flat one, but this is not the case of a very cheap mic) gives a good, clear, crisp, rich sound and the absence of peaks in the response let you raise the volume without...

All live mics are similar to the SM58. It's a standard... Consider also the Rode M1. It has a sound very similar to the SM58 and it is less a general use mic. It is more tailored for the voice. Price is similar.

Uh?... .

Behringer B-2 pro...? I like it!

Be aware of having a very large stereo image. A grand piano as large as all the scene is Too big... I have experienced this

SM58 used On eBay I have bought a Sennheiser MD431 (!!!) for 111 Euro (paid only 101 Euro because sometimes eBay makes a bonus for present)... It's beautiful! Of course, you must have a little of experience to identify thiefs. For SM58 could be a little difficult to find them, because...
