Please be more specific.

Are you getting Static?

Are you getting Hum?

Are you getting Noise?

In the realm of electronics, these are three different things. Saying "I
have noise" is so vague as to be meaningless. A baby crying in the
background? An airport? Scratchy sounds when you move the microphone
around? A constant hum? A constant buzz? The sound of rainfall? What are
you trying to record?

Please answer these questions before we even get to the connector-type and
signal-level stuff.

Thanks!
