The acoustic noise is another issue. I occasionally got that with my
MD-MT90. I'd lower it down to waist level so it wasn't line of sight
to my shoulder mics and that would be enough.
This stuff I got in the desert was way at the top, and the mics were
thirty feet away!
I'm going to investigate the grounding-to-the-case issue that Greg
reminded me about.
