RE: ho-hum
well, i swapped pins 2 & 3, and the same result, noise with the rode and no signal from the dynamic. very frusrating.
another thing i did was plug the xlr from the rode's transformer into my phonic mixer, the noise was there, but if you went past a certain gain it disappeared then appeared again when you cranked it more. doesn't make sense to me at all.
i might take it in to digital village and run it through their trakmaster, see what happens.
xoxos, what sort of gain do you have to push to get a good signal with your rode? my input gain is about 36+db on the preamp, which is where the noise starts to become annoying.
and i'm not going through the patchbay any more, so it's mic > preamp > soundcard. i've tried pluging the transformer in different sockets, some are noisier than others. and the trakmaster is nice and quiet on it's own.
