hi group.
just before xmas i started getting severe hum problems in my studio on all electric guitars and certain mics and mic lines.
to clarify: this is NOT a ground loop or anything related to my equipment or wiring. i verified this by walking around the studio with a guitar and a battery powered amp, having pulled out all the fuses, i still get a very noticable hum, with hotspots in certain areas and the guitar at certain angles.
even at the best spot the hum is louder than what is acceptable.
can anyone make a guess as to what might cause this? i.e. neighbours installing an MRI scanner? :
is there anyway to measure magnetic interference and is this grounds for a complaint to the landlord? I am at my wits end on this one!
cheers
