Yes - I have used a condenser mic and external phantom power supply with the X3 Live without any problem.

Yes. As i said, the sound persists even if i disconnect every input. its coming from the x3 live. I guess ill have to buy a sound card. Hate POD now.

Have you tested all your other equipment, especially your mic and phantom power supply devices, independently from the Pod? Are you certain that they are both working correctly - perhaps one of those devices, or a cable you are using, is responsible for the noise?

Done both the things you said. The problem is in the POD i guess. As i said, i tried doing the same thing in a different pod x3 live. it too has the same problem.

Yes it is present even if i turn the phantom power off. It is there even if i have nothing connected to x3. its just when the input is selected to guitar channel that there is no sound but when i change it to mic the sounds appears. I have tried playing with the trim nob too. the sound reduces if i turn the knob back but it still persists.

Sorry, I have a POD HD 500, and don't perform any recording with it ... no XT experience at all. Hope someone responds with good info for you.

Best of 2013,

Mike

I think this is not a ground hum. I have this same problem in my unit. Even nothing input connect, just power and headphones.

I have also tested it 2 different power, different places ect... nothing helps

Quiet hum when input is guitar, bigger when aux and terrible when input is set to microphone. Just can't using my X3 anymore

and hope some in line6 staff could find how we can repair that.
