Hi everyone! I'm new here!
Some months ago I purchased an Anthem for my Seagull S6. The sound is fantastic,I really like it! it was installed by a professional luthier, but he didn't reach to help me about the problem I'm gonna expose now:
I can hear a strong HUM when I use the lowest strings for long notes (for example in a chord) around 100-120hz (it varies depending on the note I'm playing).
It's loudest when I use the Tru-Mic system, but it exists also when I use only the Element. I try everytime to change phase, but the hum changes just a bit, from loudest to slighty lower.
In rehearsal room it's a total mess: I played with other guys on synthesizers, drums, and electric guitar and bass. The pick up is low output so I need to set up with a good amount of volume and gain in the mixer, (obviously within the limits to not distort) when I play the hum can be heard strong.
I also try in some recording sessions in my home, and I can see the hz of the hum thorugh the eq from Ableton.
In the recording session it's very easy to eliminate that, but at the same time I loose many of the natural sound on the lowest strings, and the sound of the guitar became thinner.
From the reharsal room I have a low quality mixer and I can just eliminate "LOW FREQ" without depth settings, and the sound of the guitar dies.
I didn't try in live because of Covid stop of gigs in Italy.
Is that normal? I think the guitar maybe can have this resonance, but when I record it with the condenser mic I can't hear any strong hum problem in these freqs as with the Anthem.
Do you think it can be a defect of my Anthem? If this not I will need a good EQ for Acoustic Guitar for live and reharsal?
Thank you very much, and sorry for my english!
