Hi all. I recently starting have problems with my Nagra SD (with green strip mic). It is intermittently making popping/crackling/buzzing noises. It's not constant but enough to mess up several recordings.
Any ideas what this could be? I sent a note to Nagra but they haven't replied.
Here's an example:

I sounds like a bad connection on the mic plug, can you reproduce the noise
if you wiggle or tap the mic ?
Try cleaning the plugs with contact cleaner.
If you have a tie clip mic with the correct plug, try that and see if it
clears the problem.

Thanks. Great advice. Plugging in external mic -- no problem. Seems to be the mic capsule.
