Found it.
This is a “fake” 150 Ohm microphone for noise measurements. Brown, Green, Brown, Gold. One Five One at 5% accuracy and it’s a well behaved metal film resistor. It’s mounted between pins 2 and 3 which is where the actual sound element connects.
There was a Public Address sound standard that wasn’t wired like this, but that hasn’t been common in years.
BTW, isn’t one of the guys from the group the same guy that founded or co-founded Patreon?
Correct. In his TED talk Jack Conte described working his butt off for weeks to get paid $12.63. Maybe we should work on this “Pay The Artist” thing.
I didn’t hear USB Whine. Can you actually hear it? USB whine tends to follow 1000, 2000, etc.
This damage is super difficult to fix with conventional noise reduction, at least without destroying the performance. We publish a filter specifically for Mosquito Whine (Yeti Curse).
There is a caution that this only works if the whine is USB and that it follows the conventional tonal pattern.
After struggling to fix Mosquito Whine in the field, it was determined that by far the best and most reliable way was change the computer.
We should wait for Bruno to get closer to his “studio recording”.
