monitor humm...
anyone know what could be the culprit to my monitors humming.
actually, its just the right monitor. even if my vol knob on 001 is all the way down, i get humm i have an lcd monitor (computer), so thats not it. no flourescent anything around.. i tried moving them around on the desk also, still hums could it just be picking up something from wires... also i've noticed, sometimes when i open up certain programs, i get a louder humm weird, or normal..

Re: monitor humm...
Sounds like you have power cable problems - ground loop as they say. Route your power cables away from all audio cables. Try to separate wall-wort supplies to another circuit. Try in general to run your audio cables perpendicular to your power cables in all situations. Check your cables - is the system balanced? Are you coming straight out of the 001 or is there a mixer involved? Ground loops can be a real bitch, but if you start at the beginning (ie power) you eventually find it. If the character of the humm (ie harmonic content/amplitude) varies depending on what your computrer is doing, Try separating the power from your computer and your audio hardware. Do you get hard drive noise in the hum? I bet you do....

Re: monitor humm...
yeh ill have to move around some cables i guess, to answer some of your questions
no mixer, straight out of 001. the noise is just a constant signal, no cyclic sound to it it doesnt sound like any kind of computer related humm.. any way thanks for tips, ill try ofganizing some wires.. tim |
