We tried a fix which was to increase the value of the filter capacitor to 47 MFD and it helped considerably but did not cure the problem. If the value of the cap is increased too much the high frequency response of the regulator suffers and thus, regulation suffers. The problem does not exist in th...

Re: TRAVELER mk3: phantom power adds a lot of noise

...

i did some looped recordings by the principle of alvin lucier.

this way the noise become looped also and very audible
i had to use my external phantom supply to avoid it.

:(

Re: TRAVELER mk3: phantom power adds a lot of noise

...

do you have 2 ( or more ) ME's ?
try next
connect 1 to input 1
the second to input 2, don't switch its phantom power
listen only to channel 1
you hear the typical noise
switch on the second mic phantom power
the pitch will change higher

yes ... pity for the mk3
