Hi,
I'm wandering if anyone could help me with a very long and complicated problem I have.
I have 2 Neumann km84s and a u47 which I've bought recently and they all make clicks. I know statistically that seems like an impossibility but I've been testing for months now and I've tried many different converters, preamps, computers, cables, electrical circuits over 3 different studios. I can even use my apogee duet powered off the dc battery power of my laptop to power the km84s and I still get clicks.
I'm fairly certain the clicks on the km84s are something different to the u47 because they sound different. They are not a clocking thing but rather seem like something electrical discharging. They happen about once or twice an hour which makes it very difficult not only to test but also for me to send them to a technician because sometimes the clicks are very quiet and easy to miss. So I'm afraid I might end up paying a tech just for them to tell me there's nothing wrong with them.
If someone could explain how I can upload examples of the clicks maybe someone might be able to shed some light on the situation for me.
This is a basic summary of the situation, if anyone has any questions I'll be happy to answer.
Thanks for reading and for any help.
