Buzzing in Audix SCX1-HC

[craftyphotons]

Hey everyone, I'll upload a sample of this when I get home today, but figured I'd throw out a verbal description first. My Audix SCX1-HC seems to have a buzzing noise that sounds to me like interference. I tried it with multiple cables and recorders and the noise is still present (with absolutely everything turned off in the room). The noise isn't present on my NTG-3, AT875R, or any of my other mics in any of my recorder/cable combinations either.

Not sure if it's an RF issue, or something else, but it sounds like it might need to go to Audix for some service.

Any little screws need tightening down by the mic's XLR connector?

You sir are my hero.



This little guy was backed way out! Tightening it all the way in seems to have made the problem go away. Thank you!

I remember when I was taking behind the scenes pictures before start of an interview, the closer I got to my camera, the mic buzzed. So I did a test and sure enough, moving the iPhone back and forth created the buzz. Just beware.
