Hey all,
I had an issue at a show last weekend that I think I know the cause but not sure. I had one of my levels on my iriver about 1/2 way up, while it was quiet. This turned out to be like a crackle/buzz. If I switched the cable inputs in the UA5, the issue switched channels. After the first band played, I replaced the mic cable with one the sound guy gave me, but it was still there. I then turned my stereo bar, very slightly, and the problem disappeared. The next two bands came out perfect.
The next day I setup my rig to try to reproduce the issue. What I found was the one of my mic capsules was very loose. I tightened the capsule, and can not reproduce the problem.
Is it possible that a loose capsule would cause an issue like this?
Thanks
