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


Are you hearing radio stations, 60 Hz hum, static, or what?
Are you near florescent lighting? (like in the floor under your feet...)
