Is my Mic messed up or what ???
I have an M-Box 2 and an MXL 2003 Mic. The mic is only a year old. Lately when I am gonna record with the mic and I turn on the Phanthom Power I start to hear static. At first it was very low and now it even sounds like static and a pretty strong wind passing through the mic. I used the mic with a diferent cable and it still makes the noise. I also used another mic that did not need phantom power but everything was ok. I dont think its my M-Box.
Does anyone have any idea what is wrong with my mic? Does it have a fix?

Re: Is my Mic messed up or what ???
Did you guys every experience that problem? ... if its my M-box does it have a fix ... I will try another mic to see if its the mic ... I am trying to find out if that ever happened to anyone?
Does it sound more like a M-Box problem or Mic problem ???

Re: Is my Mic messed up or what ???
I just noticed you said it sounds like an M_Box problem .. .that realyl sucks ... well i will try it out anyway ... I really hope its the mic
I was thinking it was the mic because I do not put it away in the case I leave it up ... I did not think it was a problem ... but now i am giving it a second thought .. what do you guys think?

Re: Is my Mic messed up or what ???
Never had the problem, but only deal with one microphone Since I could guess it's a problem with any one of the three items (mic, mbox, or cord), I'd say that I would do what's been suggested. I would actually have called my local friends and borrowed their mic to test it before posting, but everyone panics differently.
Until you do the test, I'm willing to guess it's the mbox only because it has yet to be proven it's not the mbox. As for a fix, I wouldn't recommend opening it up yourself or anything... Could you live without the one SPDIF Input? If the other Input works for Phantom Powered, you may have to rely on it. Otherwise, contact Digidesign Customer Support As you posted as I was writing this, I'll edit. I leave my AKG Microphone on the stand all the time, it's been in it's case only when I moved from one house to another, and only for that day, since I bought it. Unless the room you leave your mic in is incredibly dirty.... in which case, who wants to record in a dirty room? For that matter, I would hope your computer's in a separate room. Because of those two factors, I assume the room is reasonably clean

I will not open my M-box by the way ... lol ... I could record through line and DI and MIDI so it will still be useful
