Re: [linux-audio-user] Radio Interference problems when recording

This basic setup (different computer and distro, same sound card, cables, mics, etc.) was working fine at the old place in the basement. But now when I plug my mics (ie: Shure SM58) via XLR into the panel, I hear a LOT of radio interference. I never used to get any of this. My first thought is that the location (way up in the air) is what is causing it. I already tried the cheapest/quickest/easiest fix, new cables. That made no change. I will try plugging the unit into another outlet and see if that helps. I have the following questions for the more experienced readers on the list: 1) Could it be my beat-up old board? Does a newer, better board (ie: modern Mackie, etc.) have fewer problems with RF? (I know it would be quieter!) 2) I'm afraid that the RF might be coming through the power lines. Any tips on eliminating this? 3) Is the location of my equipment (3rd storey attic) an issue? Any way around this without shielding the entire roof? :-P Thanks for any help! Jay
