With apologies to the SNL sketch of yesteryear...
So I've just finished soldering up most of the cables for my new studio in San Mateo, and sat down yesterday to do my first mixdown. Patched my trusty Gyraf Pultec into the bass track...
And heard the lovely sound of KCSM-FM pumping through my system. And not just a little bit - aside from some sideband noise, it was clear as a bell.
It turns out that KCSM is less than a half mile from my house. And that's normally great, because it is the only true jazz station in the Bay Area. But not great when trying to use my Pultec!
The unit is in a Par Metal chassis, and I've never had a lick of noise before. None of my other DIY units have any radio interference. The whole system is on balanced power.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Nick
