BillWelcome Home Studios Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 lets see... because it doesn't know the words? Lots of possibilities if there was a permanent hum; but if the hum eventually goes away, as you seem to indicate, then it could just require a warm up time, or there could be a failing part. A tech might have a better idea what part that might be. Bill "I believe that entertainment can aspire to be art, and can become art, but if you set out to make art you're an idiot."

EmptinesOf Youth Posted August 12, 2004 Author Share Posted August 12, 2004 i just found that if i hold the mics grill for a second it stops Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billster Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 If it stops when you hold the grill, maybe there's a temperature related component to the electronics? Is it a tube mic? Is something loose, that makes a better connection once the temperature is up? Look for "cold solder joints". If it's new, take it back where it came from. Buy my CD on CD Baby!
