With vintage ribbon microphones that employ large bulky magnet structures the problem can be worse The cure for this problem is to identify the source of the noise and move the microphone away from it Another trick is to alter the orientation of the microphone in such a way that the noise is cancelled out If you ever experience this situation while in the studio try rotating the microphone to ide...
