Just looking for verification of a theory. Have a Sennheiser ew 100 G2 handheld with a dynamic cardioid capsule (md835). Was getting some strange interference from the mic that I sourced to our bass guitar amp. The mic was mounted on stand on an elevated stage floor (wood) and about 15' in front of the amp which was also on the floor. Everytime the bassist played loud enough, I'd get a buzzing interference through the vocal mic that sounded like a distorted version of what the bassist was playing. No wireless hardware involved with the bass.
I pulled the mic and noticed that when I shook it or vibrated it, I'd get a sort of static interference that led me to believe that something internally might be shorting out. Nothing looks suspect in the capsule, but with this design it does move a bit inside the holder as it slides up and down with the battery access.
Replacement capsule is $100, much less than a new mic of a similar build quality, but I'd rather not buy it and come to find out there's something else going on. Does this sound like a capsule going?
Thanks!
