A number of years ago, I had a room added to the house. The long and short of it was that I had to have a house power upgrade. To do it they ran a 220 cable down the fascia of the roof, into the car port and down the car port wall to the basement.

Some time later I was in the dining room with a dynamic mic, mixer and cans. I was about 16 inches from the wall when I got this big AC hum. It took a few minutes, but I figured out it was the field around the AC service cable pushing into my dining room.

In retrospect, I'm glad I didn't run it through the ceiling of my studio. Single pickup guitars have made me aware that I have enough stray AC fields down there.

Regards,
