Has anyone else had this problem with their DIY mics?
No hum or buzz, but high frequency hiss that comes and goes depending on mic and/or it's cable's position in the room. As I wave the mic(s) around in random circles, the hiss appears, then disappears. If I hold the mic in a fixed position, but move the cable around - same thing. I've never experienced this before, and I've been building and modding mics for over 30 years.
Is this some sort of recent cell phone interference phenomenon? Do I have some sort of transmitter in my area? Wireless modem? Apple Time Machine?
The mics in question are recent builds, and haven't yet had an opportunity to test them away from home - but has anyone else had this kind of noise problem?
