I am hearing an electronic-sounding noise when moving my Nomad's faders but only when my Oktava Mk012 is connected. Other mics are fine (mkh60, mkh416)

I am in communication with Zaxcom about it, but in the mean time I am curious if anyone else has had a problem with this combo?

The MK012 was purchased in 2010 from Oktava-online.

As such, pins 2 and 3 are switched.

This has never caused a problem sound-wise or power-wise.

Only power issue was when powering from a Sennheiser buttplug, but adding a phase reversal adapter fixed that.

Recording of the noise is attached.

Anyone having this problem?

Sounds like you put the mic very close to the display? My guess is that's wheere the noise comes from. Will never happen in real life so you're good.

Bingo!

Can't remember what I was doing at the time of noticing the sound to warrant the mic being so close to the Nomad... no doubt testing something else.

But yeah, moved the mic and problem gone :)

Thanks!

I run my MK012 to Nomad at least 50% of the time. I just checked and I can confirm that I'm not getting the weird sound you're getting.

However, I get something similar from the slate mic when I open that up.

I discovered the same with a lav mic I was rigging close to the Nomad. I think Zaxnet is the culprit but obviously once it is removed from the vacinity it is no longer a problem

Wouldn't surprise me. That 2.4ghz signal throws junk all over my QRX scans.

For those getting RF spray, does that come from the junction between Nomad and the aerial?

And if so, would attaching the aerial lessen the spray?

(i currently don't use Zaxnet so my aerial is never connected)

As long as Zaxnet is set in the off position nothing will be transmitting.
