was wondering if anyone could give me a clue as to what is causing (and how i can solve) this problem:
using the ma-100 on a canon xl-1. attaching a at835b eng mic to it. when i press record, i get a hum/interference/noise the cycles with the timecode????? (definitely records it.)
i've tried using a different mic - a friend's sennheiser eng shotgun mic, a different xlr cable. same result. i've also tried setting the audio 1 input to both "mic" and "mic att 20". same result.
the two things i haven't tried are switching out the ma-100, which i will as soon as i can find one to try it out on, and running it into audio 2, which i'm not sure you can do. at least i wasn't succesful getting it to be recognized in the menu when i ran the rca cables from the ma-100 over to the audio 2 inputs.
does anyone know what's going on? will a new ma-100 fix it?
any help would be greatly appreciated. i know you guys/gals know your stuff.
thanks in advacne. --jim
