I have one MIC200 and I replaced the tube by electro-harmonix12AX7 hoping to get a better sound the only thing I have is noise. Can someone help me?

I would try and put the original tube back in and see if that is where your problem lies; also make sure the tube is firmly in the sockets and glowing slightly.... I also replaced the tube and have had no issues.

This is the XLR version (as Matthew pointed out, the USB version says it in the title). I haven't had any problems of hissing or background noise with this mic, the internal noise of the mic is actually superb. In Matthew's case, maybe it could be a defective mic (that should be exchanged under warranty), or a poor quality or damaged pre-amp, which is often the case.

are you using any kind of channel mixer? Or are you going straight into a powered speaker? I find that when you don't use a mixer, you have less control. If you are using a mixer, try lowering the bass to near 0. That being said, once you have a grip on the mic, it shouldn't be making noises, if you're getting noises when being passed around from hand to hand, then all I can say is that you'll get that with almost any mic this price range.

Anyone try running the output through the Fx Loop Send, increasing gain and lowering the Volume(so the speaker isn't heard)? But if this works you'll loose the Power tube phase. I'm using Blackstar Ht Metal's Emulated Output for this purpose.

I wonder what your source component is and if possibly your converters are somehow not "playing nice" with the HiFiMan transducers.; I am into year 2 with mine and after 200 or so hours of break-in the mids and low end have opened up along with the soundstage but only positives have happened, nothing negative. (I am using an Oppo BDP-95 running via XLR to a Teac HA-501-B headphone amp. ALSO, it may be something is loose inside the cups that is resonating. I can honestly say other than not liking the way my cables attach, I can find very little to complain about regarding these cans. Good luck! Cheers! Marty G

Although I'm not familiar with your amp, the Tungsol 12 ax7 is an excellent, low noise replacement tube for nearly all 12ax7 applications.

These are garbage, i had the same problem with both. You can try adjusting your mic settings in the control panel but that didn't help me.

I bought a lapel mic at Radio Shack to use with ours, but couldn't get enough sound. I don't know if it was a microphone issue or the voice amplifier that was the problem though.

I returned mine because of the sound quality - small tinny sound and had a buzz sound. For a more versatile amp look at the Roland cube street which has 2 inputs ¼"/XLR combo for hi quality mics and a ¼' for the guitar or another mic and has an array of settings on each channel. And it is battery operated also which makes it very handy for quick setups and practice. Check it out on YouTube.

I know that the mod mic is less sensitive than my at2020, but I do know that my friends complain more about my mechanical keyboard than the sound coming from my headphones.... One thing to mention is that the mesh makes it difficult to attach a mod mic to... you can also adjust your mic settings to be less sensitive, since your mouth is a lot closer to the mod mic, than the headphones.TLDR: I wouldnt worry about the noise from the headphones, but there isn't a great mounting spot.

Had the same problem with mine, which was very frustrating because I invested in pro audio cables (Input and output) from Guitar Center before the amp even arrived. After researching online, I purchased a DB Link NF103 Reference Series Ground Loop Isolator for $13 from Amazon which eliminated most of the noise. I also plugged it into a Monster Power HTS1600 Power Conditioner which I was already using for my home theater and the problem was solved.

If you are looking for a high quality replacement cable with mic, check out Ultrasone's website. This is the one I got, http://shopworld.ultrasone.com/us/product.php?id_product=61, and I am completely satisfied with it. Hope this helps.

If someone could help with a solution, would be awesome.. when i plug the mic on my H4N using the XLR cable, it gives a lot of noise for me too, but when i use it with USB on my pc, it's perfect.

I would try to find the problem first. Do you need to replace the mixer? or is it the mic? or is a speaker blown? Find the problem before spending money on a solution.

Probably a problem with the mic not the mixer I had a be behringer mic one time and it was nothing but problems from day one

Can't help you out there, sorry. This mic was a gift for my son in Michigan (I'm in Arizona) and he has no brass instruments in his band.
