Buzz




By phunt2019 on Apr 15, 2009

" "
I have an am62 that has a lot of 60 cycleish buzz. Moving the 6 pin mic cable effects the amount of buzz greatly and it is often possible to fiddle around with this cable placement until the buzz is gone. However this is not an a great way to work "next take please don't move and hold the mic cable just above your right eye brow ok?" It seems like a grounding issue to me but I have not been able to solve it. Any help would be great thanks patrick

- Yes I think so too but I have not been able to solve the problem. I have tried disconnecting the grounds and reconnecting them this seems to have no bearing on the buss. Also tried testing the grounds for conductivity and they all seemed to be fine.

also I found that pluging directly into an m-box totally eliminates the buzz but going through any other pre amp (sytek, api, neve, summit audio) and or anyother digi interface 002 or HD yeild tons of buzz.

any thoughts?
and or advice on how to trouble shoot this issue?

thanks a ton

patrick

It sounds like the mic has a bad ground.

This could either be in the connector at the end, or the cord itself.

- If you can find a problem at the connector itself, then you might consider shortening the wire on the bad end and resoldering it to the connector. With any luck you will cut out the bad spot.
