hey so i just got this mic about a couple weeks ago and lately my friends have been saying theyre hearing a buzzing noise? i have tried unplugging and replugging back in but nothing seems to work

#

this is a clip of the buzzing noise that my friend took. he said it can happen longer and louder at times. i have tried to look up a solution online but cant seem to find any

#

are you connect via xlr or usb?

#

buzzing noise is either a ground loop or severe emi

#

ok then do you have any power lines running around where the mic is?

runic sable
#

how close would it have to be?

idle elbow
#

monitor plug, pc plug, sometimes transformers for those equipment placed too close to a mic can cause electro magnetic interference.

runic sable
#

so it would have to be a power line running around where the mic is?

idle elbow
#

more than likely yeah

runic sable
#

i have a line thats a good bit away

#

i have it unplugged and only plug it in when i use my ps5

idle elbow
#

its its far enough away it shouldnt be an issue

#

explain your setup

#

does the mic plug into a pc via usb

#

or is it a laptop

#

whats the deal

runic sable
#

yes it is plugged in through usb

#

to my mobo

idle elbow
#

usb3?

runic sable
#

yes

#

could it be possible that the usb is bad?

#

i just got it like a couple weeks ago

idle elbow
#

audio equipment is weird, but it almost sounds like your pc has poor grounding

#

having said that reading online some people actually suggest using a wall powered usb hub

#

others have had the issue as well

#

and a wall powered usb hub seemed to have helped them

runic sable
#

would you mind sending a good one?

#

or can i just look one up and buy the first one

#

ive never looked into those before so i dont know much about them

idle elbow
#

i cant guaranty anything i pick would be a good one

runic sable
#

i understand, and i mean if it doesnt work then i can just always return it

idle elbow
#

just make shure its one that gets its power from the wall and not the pc

#

as always amazon has the best return policy

runic sable
#

so something such as this

#

would be wall powered correct?

#

just amking sure

idle elbow
#

it looks acceptable

runic sable
#

like if the usbs would not work

#

or would it possibly be that the mic was defective when i got it?

#

or possibly try a new mic even?

idle elbow
#

While its possible, your issue is an issue that others have faced.

runic sable
#

i really appreciate it

runic sable
#

update

#

contacted shure support and they said it sounded like an interference issue like hwta you said earlier about an open line. i do have astro a50s. my mic was in between my base station and my headset so i am thinking that may have been the issue. ever since i the base station about an hour ago my friends said they have not heard the buzzing, so hopefully that was the fix?

idle elbow
#

There ya go, Electro magnetic interference

#

glad to see you got it worked out

runic sable
#

so eventuallky the buzzing came back. also got in the usb hub as well as a new micro usb and still no good unfortunately

#

only thing i can seriously think of is that the mic is defective?

#

ive been in contact with their support as well and last i heard is them saying it seems like an interference issue
