I've posted previously about the popping noise that I hear when I record or amplify my 396XT's audio. In one of the other forums Bob (Proscan) suggested that it might be a DC component on the audio and suggested that I try either a 10mf capacitor or a 1:1 audio transformer. I bought the parts yesterday and breadboarded them today so I could switch things in and out. The cap didn't help, but the transformer solved the problem. I then built a cord with the filter on one end in a small plastic case which seems to be working well. If you want to hear the audio clips which are about 3 minutes each, they are at YouSendIt.

The two files of interest are unfiltered.mp3 and transformer.mp3 although there are also clips with the capacitor only and with the transformer and the capacitor together. It's particularly interesting to watch the waveform of the audio while listening with a program such as Goldwave.
