Shielded xlr cable/connector

[Ty Ford]

Connecting all sorts of gear these days can result in some interesting audio by-products.

At one facility here in town, the stage is usually electrically quiet. On one shoot, I was getting hum back in my headphone return. We isolated the problem to one of the big screen video displays on a BNC from one of the cameras. Take it out. No Hum. Put it back. Hum.

The video gear was all plugged into the same stinger. My presumption was that it was an isolated incident and was due to a dirty power supply in the video display.
