My SP C-1 has suddenly developed a bit of a problem. I've used it several times, and it has sounded perfect, never any unwanted sounds. But the last 2 times I used it, it would distort on random sounds. Not just on loud sounds (so it isn't clipping or volume-related), and not always on breathy sounds. Sometimes I would get complete takes without any distortion, and other takes would have several distorted sounds. It also doesn't seem to be related to how close I am to the mic (again ruling out breathy sounds).
I use a popper-stopper.
Does anybody have any thoughts? I read the recent post about the defective B1, and thought maybe this is the same deal. But I live in Saskatchewan, CA, in the middle of the praries, where humidity isn't really an issue ever. Plus, I have air conditioning running constantly, which should counteract any moisture that might be in the air.
I store the mic on the stand, but with the windscreen on (I record with it off), and with a plastic bag over that, just to be sure.
Please tell me your diagnosis, and how I can fix it.
