Title: DC offset possible in one channel but not the other?
Post by: greenone on August 10, 2009, 12:09:57 AM

Just recorded a show on Saturday where the right channel is peaking perfectly above the zero line, but below it, it never crosses the -6 line. Left channel, however, looks more or less symmetrical around the zero axis. Any ideas what might cause this? See image below...

Running Neumann KM150's>V2>ADC-20>Microtrack if it makes a difference, powered with a fully-charged 6v/7.2ah eco-charge that I'd used the night before with no adverse affects in the waveform. This was a fairly windy outdoor show on the Portland waterfront; the right side was open to the water while the left side was blocked off by a giant warehouse, not sure if that might be a factor.

never had it happen with a v2.. but my psp2 will produce a wav that looks like that as the battery gets too low

yes, often times one channel is offset and the other is not. DC correct will pull it to center without messing up the one that is ok.
