I'm having a problem with my wireless transmitter and my shotgun mic. Both are brand new so I doubt the problem could be wear. The shotgun is a Beyerdynamic 86SII and the wireless system is a Lectrosonics UH 400A transmitter and a UCR401 receiver.
The mic makes a crackling noise when you touch the transmitter or move the mic. I dont have this problem when the transmitter is connected to an RE50 stick mic... only the shotgun.
I adjusted the the phantom power on the cube to 5V which seemed to help some. I am using phantom power in the cube to power the mic. There is a AA in the mic but the power is off.
Any ideas? I'm at the end of my rope.
