What mic are you using?
Are you using an XLR to XLR Cable or XLR to 1/4 RTS connector to the Omni

Make sure Mic is selected and the 48V button is lit.

The Mic selected and 48v On and the XLR cable is New.
I am now traveling and will be back home after 3 weeks.
I will Try factory reset when I come back ... it might help...
But I am afraid that this could be an issue/defect in the Unit.. do you think it could be?

I just started having the exact same problem. Made me feel like an idiot trying to figure out what was wrong, but I'm starting to think it's the OMNI and not user error.
