swaneon Posted May 16, 2015 Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 I was selling my Sanken CS3 (not e) since I've heard the e improved upon the noise floor and thus the cs3 was noiser. Then I tested my friend's Sennheiser MK66 and it was also noisy within the same setup. Thus I think it's my setup instead. Could someone help pinpoint what could be the issue? Sanken CS3 to Mix Pre D via XLR AES from Mix Pre D to Digital In of Marantz 661 i've tried different xlr cables also. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Matt Mayer Posted May 16, 2015 Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 Is the 12V phantom LED illuminated on the input side of the MixPreD? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
swaneon Posted May 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 Hi guys, I retested and after readjusting the mic inside the blimp, everything is significantly cleaner. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
audioevolved Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 Also the mix pre pre amps aren't exactly amazing & induce a fair bit of noise. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to post Share on other sites
