if these are powered monitors, are you using balanced (i.e., 1/4" TRS) cables to them? if not, you may get that hum. tying the power cables to an unbalanced cables (i.e. 1/4" TS) may induce a 60Hz hum also.

Try AC ground lifters on your monitors. If this solves the problem, you have a ground loop. The correct way to fix it(do not leave the AC "cheaters" in place) is to clip the sheild connection at the monitor end of your balanced cables(going from your DIGI interface to your monitors).
