Re: Can someone tell me what is wrong with my sound?

It sounds like crosstalk from nearby radio frequencies (police radio, TV station, etc.) and that would definitely qualify as "interference". It may very well be from some type of lighting - ballasts perhaps.

It is not uncommon to encounter, especially in larger cities, with so much RF flying around.

A way to check this would be when you hear the interference on headsets, change the transmitter/receiver frequency to something different. If the interference follows, it is more than likely a nearby source such as the light ballast or power transformer. If the interference is gone, it was most likely, another radio source.

Be sure to check your cables! Mic to transmitter, receiver to mixer, mixer to camera, for any shielding problems and faulty connections.

So far as a fix, you can try software pop/static filters but it's a random noise, which is the hardest for the software to fix. Soundtrack Pro has a good one.

Let us know what you find out.
