Hi,
I am an intermediate birder and photographer and a very novice nature recor=
dist.
Last year I bought the following equipment to start out: Sony MZRH1 and Sen=
nheiser ME67+K6 (with shock mount & windshield). Perhaps this was a poor ch=
oice.
My interest is in documenting individual species rather than doing soundsca=
pes, so perhaps I would be better off with a parabolic dish, but that is no=
t the main problem I am having.
All my recording seem to be plagued with a background low-frequency hum (pe=
rhaps the wrong term). I've tried to turn down the recording levels on the =
MZRH1, but this does not help. Recordings made with the cheap $50 mic do no=
t have this hum (but of course they are too faint).
I am recording in a fairly quiet environment (for suburban Maryland).
No amount of filtering in Audition will get rid of the hum without distorti=
ng the bird song.
Perhaps I am doing something obvious wrong or need additional/differen t eq=
uipment.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Felicia Lovelett
