Hi,
I recently purchased an Irig2, and I am quite unhappy with the noise level. I aim at using it for live streaming my dj set through my Android phone input jack, and there is an awful background noise.
I installed a noise level meter on my phone and:
1. noise level in a quite room using the built-in phone microphone (nothing connected to the input jack) approx 15dB
2. noise level under the same condition but using standard earphone+mic connected approx the same 15dB
3. "plain" Irig2 connected, WITHOUT any audio jack connected to the Irig2 input, got 45dB
4. working condition with my controller output into the Irig2, I set the gain to get approx 75-80dB
I do not understand why plugging the Irig2 alone noise level raises from 15 to 45 dB, but to me this makes the device unusable. Do you guys think this is the expected performance or it has something to do with my specific unit?
Thanks for helping!
