Hey folks,
Since running this box I've had an issue with cell phone interference coming through on my recordings.. Any ideas what I can do to shield against this?
Better cable?
Aluminium box?
Unbalanced? (have i got this right? think i read somewhere that disconnecting the ground on one end makes some difference...I might just be making it up tho).
I have never heard any interference (with any mics), so I don't know what this sounds like.
What were you running before? Do you think the 2-wire would have less interference? The first thing I would check is the length of the cables. I don't see how an aluminum case would help (it is all low impedance circuitry), but I guess you could try covering the case in aluminum foil and see. You can also get alumium "tape", used to fix heating ducts. Try covering the case in this if it makes a difference
Good luck anyway...
Richard
