The RF interference is strange. I had that issue in the Q9u in USB mode when using anything other than the cable it came with (that cable has a ferrite core in it). Never had any XLR interference though, thankfully.
I think an electrical wire is running too close to the foil wrapped on my insulation in the ceiling which is frustrating cause it’s almost the only issue I can’t really fix, not without extreme measures. And if I did rip open the ceiling and that wasn’t the issue, well that’d suck;) So🤷♂️.
Yeah it picked up enough electrical noise from my computer's GPU that I couldn't use it in my setup, unfortunately. That aside, sounds good, but bothered me too much. None of my other mics in the same position have an issue. I let them know the issue and they said they'd let their engineering team know and stuff...hopefully something comes of that
Great video Ray! I’ve seen other creators mention the same issue and I have that issue in my recording space which is why I stayed away from the Q9U. I adore my Q2U but the Q9U was awkwardly sensitive so I went the SM7B route for my upgrade. Great video again, glad to see a video from ya!
I don't think I had interference on the PodMic but it's always hard for me to tell cause my space is very tricky. It all feels very specific to any one space so if you're getting interference, you probably have an issue like mine and just need to find which mic will work in your space. Definitely worth giving the PodMic a shot. Try to buy it somewhere you can return it.
Thanks, I'm always editing as much as possible and seek to make this as short as they can be but also keep things as long as they need to be. Doing this long enough to know what content has to be in there, what questions people will ask OR they'll complain in the opposite direction.video too short, missed this, missed that LOL. It's a push and pull you never win but trust me, I'm always looking to trim. Appreciate the view and the feedback!
If they sent you this mic, and watched video, have they comment on the emf hum issue? Maybe you got a faulty unit? The mic sounds great but if it picks up emf it is unusable for most people!
They didn't give me any direct feedback that I recall. I have a very difficult space so that's probably the issue however like I show in this video, the USB version faired a lot better so it may indeed have been a bad mic. If the mic is of interest to you or others, I would just make sure there is a return policy (have to read specifically for mic returns) and then test it in your space. Most people likely won't have the same issue.

Thanks, Diana! Interesting to hear some others experienced the interference with the Q9U.
I know this mic (or, more specifically, the Q9u) is polarizing, but I think this one sounds pretty splendid on your voice, Ray.
Thanks, T.J. I also like this one on my voice once the lower frequencies are compensated for, that mid-freq boost really helps.
Yeah, Ray! Welcome back!
Thanks, Chris!
Hay you are back! Nice! And I see the bass in the back 🤘
Thanks! Definitely playing more bass than I am recording videos;)
@@RayOrtega Haha I'm expecting a bass video now 😉🎸
Dude I've always enjoyed your content, this was fire!
Carlos, good to see you and thanks for the compliment!!! Happy 2023!
The Q2u has been my go to WFH/gaming mic for the last several years. Shame they missed the target on this one
Did you have any sort of interference with the Podmic? I am returning my MV7X because I kept hearing interference.

Thanks!!
He's back in the game! :D
One video a year is the new strat. All the kids will be doing it ;)
@@RayOrtega Can’t wait for Mr. Beast to go to one video a year next year!
But good to see you back, Ray
Does this mean that Podcasters Roundtable will be back too? :)
Yes, in 2023, more Roundtables! Thx for asking!
How are those Senal headphones? Look very Sony-ish
good video, you can definitely push all this content in 10 minutes instead of 20

Great to see you after a year, Ray!!!
Thanks, Mario! I'm still here! ;) Really appreciate the support.

So definitely not a microphone for Michael when recording TWiM
Ha you're good. A couple of the others could stand for some easing of the esses;)
