TECH TIP #5:  RF Interference

Microphone lines are one of the most likely sources of RF interference, especially in churches, hotels and country clubs.  "Open" MIC lines may actually behave like large dipole antennas where long cable runs exist.

The simplest solution is to make sure that amplifier MIC inputs are turned to their lowest position when not in use.  A more certain fix is to terminate the MIC lines with "dummy" jacks (an A3M or A3F MIC connector with pins 2 and 3 shorted).
