I'm still getting acquainted with my new Sony MZ-NHF800 Hi-MD recorder,
and yesterday I stumbled across a strange problem. The machine seems to
buffer incoming audio and then print the data to disk at approximately
30-second intervals (mic input, PCM mode). During every one of these
disk-activity cycles I'm hearing three low-level pops. And yes, these
pops are getting recorded. But it seems to happen with only one of my
mic set-ups, a pair of Shure 183s powered by a 9-volt battery. All
other mics, both dynamic and PIP, seem to be free of this. I have run
this same battery-powered pair into the mic inputs of a Sony DAT
recorder and an ancient NT-1 recorder with no ill effects.
I'm totally stumped. Any thoughts?
