Hi, John (and Dave) - Ah - I haven't tried using just channel 1's phantom power. I *did* try taking the 788T off of AC power, turning off all the phantom power on it, and putting AA-batteries in the PPAs as the phantom power source. With this set-up, I still got a weird noise about 12 seconds in to recording, but not as severe. A bit mysterious.
I haven't tried other mics yet - not sure I *have* any other mics at the moment, since I had a bunch of stuff stolen last year (which indirectly led to my TetraMic purchase this month). I certainly don't have any condensers... perhaps I'll try it with line input just out of curiosity. thanks again, everyone, -jascha On Apr 16, 2011, at 4:53 AM, John Leonard wrote: > Jascha, > > You only need phantom turned on on Channel 1 - try turning it off on all > other channels and see if the noise goes away.
