Message: [QUOTE="Niels Münster, post: 443386, member: 50080"] Hi, everyone! This is my first here at the forum; I am somewhat new to the world of recording, so please bear with me. I recently purchased a pair of Beyer M81s (M818) to experiment a bit with some old mics. They are supposed to be fantastic dynamics - but I'm having issues with mine. Both of them emit a serious buzz/hum/noise through a PA speaker, and when trying to record through my GAP 73, there's no signal until I hit the upper gain stages - and then, the same hum prevails. What puzzles me is that both mics exhibit this behaviour, which leads me to think that maybe I am doing something wrong. Could the problem be in the tuchel-XLR adapters, or are there other potential pitfalls? Or did I simply buy a pair of lemons? Thank you so much, and best regards, Niels [/QUOTE]
