Mains Hum When using the ASF-G indoor, some general details have to be considered:     The ASF-G is working with highly sensitive piezo sensors and therefore also sensitive to electromagnetic and electrostatic fields. Water picks up electrostatic radiation. Therefore, electronic devices known for electromagnetic radiation should be kept away from the water to be recorded in. (witching power supplies, fluorescent lamps, CRT displays or TV sets, etc.
