That would be me. In the case of the interference I recently found with my =
M10 and 4 EM172s, there were several reasons I was concerned about it, desp=
ite not being able to hear it myself:
- I could see it very plainly in bands across the sonogram. I look at sonog=
rams a lot, and I don't want them obscured by bands, even if I can't hear t=
hem.
- My hearing isn't great, and it may be that others can hear what I can't.
- The background was noisy in my tests, and I didn't want to discover some =
day that there was noise that was audible in a quiet environment.

But rather than being critical of this Telinga design because of this, I'm =
confident enough of Klas's design abilities that it gives me hope that all =
I need to do is wire my mics up more competently, perhaps with better quali=
ty cable, and the problem will be solved.
