echo Posted May 4, 2015 Report Share Posted May 4, 2015 Hey Guys, I have been getting some low level interference on my 416T. It's sporadic and doesnt last long. My guess would be that it's wireless interference. Just wondering if this a good assumption and what the best way to rectify the problem is. Cheers!

Glen Deakin Posted May 4, 2015 Report Share Posted May 4, 2015 Give sennheiser a call. They have great service and support. Or take to one of the usual suspects that offer repair. Could be something minor that they may be able to take care of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip Perkins Posted May 4, 2015 Report Share Posted May 4, 2015 One of the touts on the 416 is its relative immunity from RF interference, so you maybe hear a capacitor or other component dying. A good idea to get it to a service tech. philp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glen Trew Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 For T-powered mics, noise is more likely to come from the power supply than directly into the mic. One reason mixer manufacturers don't offer T-power is because it would require lower noise specs than their power supplies deliver (but good enough for everything but T-powered mics). How are you powering the mic? gt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmgoodin Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 I've seen many poorly designed T power supplies that try to use a voltage regulator or Zener Diode to limit voltage. These all can generate noise in the T power Sennheisers if not properly filtered. I have also had Video Transmitters cause interference or High Voltage Neon signs but the mic body has to be pretty close to the source of the interference (a foot or 2) for it to be audible.
