tried SPDIF, no weird digi noises...

[Simp-Dawg]

you can still turn it off with the hold button on.

Very strange, you can't turn mine off when the hold switch is engaged.  All buttons are locked out with hold engaged, including power.

My firmware is 1.0.2.  Is this what everyone else has?

I asked this on another thread.  Everybody who answered had 1.0.2

Jeff

i have 1.0.0

[Todd R]

Mine boots up, saying firmware 1.00.  But if you go to System>Version, it says 1.0.2.

Does some protection exist to avoid interference from cell phones? Expensive?

I was thinking about some pouch of some sort or something you put on the outside of the MT..?

perhaps just turn your cellphone off, seems to be a very easy option.

Tell that to X thousands others where everybody has a cell phone either to take pictures or call to friends to let them hear parts of songs etc. I'm thinking of GA where I'm crammed between others. I, of course, turn my phone of.

i think cell phone noise would be rather rare.  i've open taped and stealthed on many many occasions and not once have i ever had cell phone noise in a recording...not even when the phone was on and in my pocket just inches from the recorder.

also, the first time i saw the mt in stealthing action there was a girl who was holding up her cell half the night so her friends could hear and i don't here any cell phone noise on the recording anywhere.

have you experienced RF noise on your recordings?

I just picked up my MicroTrack here in Germany. The German version also reads "Ph PWR", despite what the pictures on the German M-Audio web site show.
Now charging...
