I have solved this issue (somewhat) but would like someone to educate me on this matter if possible.
I have a Shure Sm7B setup to very close to my tabletop (suspended 1cm with boom arm) to record some ASMR for my Youtube channel. HOWEVER, I realized it picks up terrible buzzing noises because of my surge protector taped directly under my cheap 1.5 inch thick ikea table. As soon as I move my mic to the left, the noise deafens. ( need it to be in the middle cuz aesthetics)
(regardless of what is plugged in, when I turn off the power strip, the noise is completely gone so its 100% confirmed its coming from there)
Can someone explain what is going on? Is it possible I could do something cool like get some copper sheets in there and make the noise dissapear? Otherwise I am fine with destroying my perfect cable management for the sake of clean audio. But I would still like to know exactly what is going on, or if potentially my power strip is bad.
