It's nearly impervious to induction from computer and TV monitors and other sources of buzz, hum, static, and all things inductive. I actually have several of these mics. I used them exclusively in my voice-over studio for many years and whenever I found one for sale, I'd snatch it up pronto. I still take one on the road when I travel with my laptop.
