Bruce,

Is it indoors and is the hum at line frequency? If so check the leads
which may be "one legged" with a short on one of the balanced lines or
a screen may have broken. Move all leads away from anything with a
transformer.

If none of these options, it must be from the K6 or the recorder. Swap
around everything you can.

A low level hum at an exact frequency can be filtered out with a notch
filter without damaging a recording, but not if there are higher
"buzz" frequencies.
