I recently got an LR Baggs Radius pickup and I'm having some issues with electronic hum when I try and wire it up.
The setup I'm using is:
Radius > 1/4" Jack > LR Baggs Para DI preamp > XLR > Behringer X1204USB mixer
The only way I'm able to get a useable signal is to have the volume up full, and the gain turned up fairly high on the Para DI. When I do that though I get quite a bit of electronic hum coming through.
I started off with a store-bought model. When I reported the issue to LR Baggs customer service they were very helpful and have sent out a Warranty replacement - but it seems to have a similar issue (though not quite as bad). I've attached an mp3 (with a few bars of music), which is about as good a sound as I'm able to get:
LR Baggs Radius Number 2.mp3
Am I just being dense here? Is there something I'm doing wrong, or is this just meant to be normal? Fiddling around with the EQ settings just seems to change the tone / frequency of the hum, but doesn't eliminate it.
Any advice much appreciated.
Kind Regards
Dave M
