Are you disengaging the phantom power before you plug in your Hi-Z mic? What kind of Hi-Z mic is it?


I use a Focusrite (same mfg) Saffire interface. I've never had a problem running the dynamic mics on it either with phantom on or off. It never created any noise of any kind..... just an observation.




Not all dynamics are created equal. Some have transformers, some don't. Some 57's have had them removed. Most have XLR, but some have 1/4" TRS, 1/4" TS, etc. Balanced XLR or unbalanced 1/4" TS?

You're observation is apocryphal.


Edit: That should have been "anecdotal". I apologize for any misunderstandings.
