Update. It was my cable. A self made one. I bought a premade one and it worked perfectly. – So much for my soldering skills.
Hi I made a template for this monster. Makes life much more easy.
Enjoy
I have a better resolution but cant post i here due to size restrictions.
what is a battery eliminator ?
The Hum; I had it too and found that it can be two things; first when connecting the micpre to soundcard, you should avoid to act as a ground loop; do not touch both the xlr connector and metal parts on the soundcard when plugging in.
Hum will start when connecting Micpre to sound card, and touching both the xlr/Jack connector and the sound card’s metal parts, by that I am acting as a ground loop.
Hum will start when Overload or over peak happens, in either the sound card or the Micpre I think it is my soundcard but has to test further.
This hum does not happens when I am connecting my behringer mixer, in between the mic pre and the soundcard.
on the MicPre are you using the Xlr out ?
have you tried the microphone in Mbox Input only ?
on the 12ay7 micpre Use the Xlr output to get the tube sound, or use the Jack output to get clean mosfet sound.
On mine there is sound after 30 seconds or such.
