Hi, I've been using a SE electronics 2200A condenser over the last year and have encountered a recurring problem when recording. Basically when recording vocals the mic will work fine for 1 - 5 hours and then a "wind" noise starts creeping in underneath the vocals, once it starts it eventually becomes so strong that we cannot record. I know "wind" isn't very descriptive but it's a horrible background noise that becomes so audible it ruins the recording. We have tried using over a dozen different working XLR-XLR mic leads and we're recording into a 'MOTU 828' sound card (even tried a DIGI 002 and encountered the same problem) which means it isn't a problem with the sound cards preamp. It's only with this microphone that we have this issue, usually by not using it for a few days it would give us a couple more days of recording. But now it's got to the point where within 2 minutes of being plugged in it makes this loud horrible "windy" background noise. Any ideas what this is? Or how it can be resolved? Any help would be much appreciated!
