Hi Kyle, Klas here.
I must agree with Roger when he says that "These sort of problems are
the most annoying!"
And often the most difficult to solve... sigh...
Start the easiest way by spraying a very thin oil into all
connections, both at the mic and at the handle output. Also spray
between the moving part / tube around the plug itself and at the
thread. Here in Europe we have something called CCR 5/56, which often helps=
.
Not that I know exactly what you mean by "(static-like) noise" but
when I test the PRO6 handles, I have a cable hanging from the inputs
of my bench amp. Sometimes when I don't tighten the thread all the
way into the handle, I get what I would call "static-like noise". But
never when using my Tascam FR2LE. It's very strange.
Besides here, you can communicate with me directly at
Klas.
