Upon attempting my first use of this combination, I was surprised at
the amount of handling noise I got, compared to what I get with just
a Sony MS957 in the NH1. And it's different--with the MS957, it
sounds like handling. With the NT-1A, it sounds like loud clipped
static electricity, and happened when I thought nothing was moving. I
had the NT-1A in its shockmount propped on top of the car, with the
rest on the reat seat.
The test below was in my back yard (highway about a mile away), with
everything on the ground. Half way through I purposely picked up the
mic, somewhat carefully. I wasn't able to upload this to the Groups
file area for some reason.
I don't see any voltage switches on the PB224 despite the manual
making reference to it. I have this cable between the NT-1A and
PB224, Pro Co XLR5 http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/XLR5/ and
Hosa YXF-247 http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/YXF247/ from
the PB224 to the NH1. One of the XLR ends is not attached to anything, for now.

Does this sound like the usual handling noise from this type of mic?
