<<"...after about ten minutes of recording, much of the unwanted whistling and noise I associated with the phantom-powered external mics disappeared and did not return...[mics were] a pair of MXL 604s, Chinese small-condenser devices.">> Some mics take a while to stabilize when phantom power is first applied, although more like 10 to 20 seconds than ten minutes. Given the above info I would suspect the mics as the culprit here. Those are very inexpensive, & one can expect nearly non-existent quality control at that price point. Scott Fraser |
