Hi

I have a Spirit Folio notepad. We used to have two AKG mics which sounded fine on it. I upgraded to an SM58 and a SM58Beta A, and now we get this weird rustling sort of sound whenever we move the mics. When I touch something metal on the mixer, the rustling is reduced yet still audible. It happens on all four mic inputs, with both mics, no matter what lead I use.

Any ideas? It just sounds unprofessional live, that's all.

Cheers!
 
The xlr mic cable is bad near the connector.
The xlr jack wires inside the mic are bad/loose.
The xlr jack is corroded.
The xlr jack is distorted/misaligned.
the mic circuitboard is damaged, cracked, or otherwise injured.
the wires between the mic capsule and the circuit board are damaged.
