& to confuse things further:
I tried connecting the Rode Lavaliers & the Sanken - to test 'similar' mic =
designs to see if there was something in the powering or even the micon con=
nectors that could be causing it. They both work fine so its just the DPA !=
I've also noticed that the R-44, just with the DPA's, has a low hum that va=
nished when you touch any of the metal parts or the 'grounding terminal' (!=
). This seems really odd - as if the DPA's are somehow making the recorder =
'live' but I can't work out how it'd be doing that.
