One thing that happened to me when using my DPA 4061's into my Sharp
MD recorder. The 1/8" connector "sleeve" (the metal contact closest
to the actual cable) was grounding against the metal case of the MD
recorder causing a low level hum and allowing me to hear the 40 second
buffer dump to the disc.=20
I noticed that by pushing the connector slightly towards the back of
the unit solved the problem; bad connector right?=20
Wrong, after a soldering iron reflow session, a trip to LA to the MD
spa, Dan Dugan solved the mystery by providing me with the most
expensive piece of tape I have ever seen. And I thank him for that!
By isolating the connector from the case, with the tape between the
case and the connector plate, the problem was solved. So you may want
to try pulling the connector out slightly, just so that it's not
touching the case and see if that helps. If so, apply electrical tape.
Just a thought, good luck.
