Buzzing in Exactpower SP15


There is a slight buzz in this unit that I cannot get rid of. Anyone else have this problem. Happens when I plus into the EP15 or into an adjacent outlet...Any suggestions?

There...Buscis took the time to explain the problem I was referring to very well. I did not know exactly how the Exactpower worked. But a buzzing unit or transformer in any piece of gear is almost always a problem with DC offset from our friendly power utility.

If the problem is not bad, sometimes a dedicated line will be enough, since it removes other home appliances from the circuit. But this case must be very bad. (ie, the gear buzzes, so you get a power correcting device, which then buzzes itself.)

Nice to hear that Exactpower is now working on the input side of their devices, after perfecting the output side going to the gear. It is sad that they have to solve the electrical utility's shortcomings also.
I could go easily into a very long explanation. Trying to put it simply......

The Exactpower adjusts the voltage and power coming out of it going to your gear. Unfortunitely the quality of the voltage and power going into the Exactpower from the wall is taxing the ability of the of the SP15 to adjust the power.

Dedicated lines may solve the problem if you want to go that far. Or just don't plug the EP15 and SP15 into the same duplex.
