My microphone makes this sound after getting connected for a few hours, anyone knows a fix to this? My shure sm58 does just well and so does mxl v67g and other mics.
Anyone cares to explain to me this phenomenon?
Oops. Just remembered that your in Singapore.
IDK contaminated diaphragm or bad cap. In the circuitry would be any repair guys idea without having it right there in there hands.
Maybe a grounding issue. Is the body nice and tight? Have you opened it up to look for loose wires?
When was the last time you gave it a bath?
It actually sounds like the ADC has lost digital sync, or a bad mic cable. If All the mics you own does this (besides the one Mike modded) it is a sync or even phantom power related.
temporarily discontinue use. then see if the problem repeats without it.
Also some audio interfaces will have this issue if there is too many phantom powered devices connected. I recommend using separate phantom power supplies because sometimes the phantom power is too weak on long cable runs and interfaces and mixers sometimes do not supply the correct voltages.
I suspect the phantom is not correct operating voltage. USB Phantom power is good to about 30mA then is loads down the usb 5V and 30% of the condenser microphones out there do the same thing because the phantom voltage is under 36V.
but you can double check if it is the phantom power by plugging it into a mixing board or substituting the phantom on the CI1 with a phantom supply block.
if it was one channel, then the surface mount devices would need to be reflowed (soldier)
if you have a DMM or voltmeter, you could measure across pins 1&3 and 1&2 to see what the phantom voltage is. it might be that one of the power pins (2 or 3) is different or incorrect voltage and that it is below minimum voltage requirements.
Do you need Oktavamods contact info?
