What is high pitch sound from the microphone?
The high pitch sound is interference generated by other electronic devices or power cables. It occurs when the wires in the cables are not shielded properly or if they are not connected properly with each other. It may also occur when the microphone is not grounded or is improperly grounded.
The sound is a result of the induction of electrical current through the microphone wires. This can be solved simply by finding the source of the interference and fixing it. A good microphone ground wire connection is one of the basic requirements.
