Please delete if it's the wrong forum. Has anyone ever built a Faraday cage?
I'm getting a lot of buzz when I record guitars with single-coil pickups. Replacing the pickups or eliminating the source is not an option. I'm going to have to build a portable Faraday cage, just large enough for the guitarist to sit or stand in.
Is one layer of steel chicken wire, with 1/2" spaces, going to block 60 Hz mains hum and its harmonics? Can I join the sides with solder, and connect the ground to the ground plug on the electrical mains?
For a door, I'll probably make a wood frame, a thin sheet of fiberboard to support the chicken wire, and metal strips around the door to make good contact.
