Re: akg c411: Noisy?
Should be no hiss. I have one myself, and use them quite often on various instruments and the residual noise is extremely low. Inaudible in use. They have a wide range of phantom power acceptance too, from 9 to 52v, so should be fine with both of those units (the TC puts out 24v as I recall). You could have a faulty C411 there.... one other indicator is that you seem to be suggesting you are needing to apply a lot of gain. This should not normally be necessary. Try it on one more input type, just to be sure, a regular mixer channel, for example, but I suspect you might need to send this one back. Something definitely wrong somewhere. Worth confirming too that your AER and TC's phantom power is turned on and working correctly - plug an electret mic in, just to check.
