| Low buzzing through speaks @kingbr Darn it, I just noticed this in one of the reviews of the Hosa ground lifter. The thought of this occurring just hit my brain, and only then did I dig a little deeper and realize someone else had the same concern as I. From a review of t... | |
| Low buzzing through speaks I’ll try connecting the wire for the ground between the Mac and Sim… I’m not expecting this to change anything, as there should be no difference in ground planes between the two pieces of equipment, since they’re plugged into the same outlet, b... | |
| Low buzzing through speaks I think the common denominator here is Revel speakers. That may be, but kingbr already stated that there’s no buzz when disconnecting the XLR cables, with the amp on. I’m assuming the amp is not being trigger ON by audio. I hope that’s not the ... | |
| Low buzzing through speaks what if I tried disconnecting the XLR’s and try RCA (I do have some of those Transparent as well actually though lower end of their line). Why not right? GREAT idea! Guess I could also order an el cheapo XLR too, because again why not?! I w... | |
| Low buzzing through speaks I keep my Kismet amp on 24-7, my Hegel preamp as well. When I’m not going to be listening to music during most of the week. (I mostly listen Thursday through Sunday) I detach one of the XLRs. no buzz. IMO, if you’re spending thousands of dollar... | |
| Low buzzing through speaks I did separate the XLR cables from any power cables and used a zip tie to keep them from separating and touching any power cables Do you remember if that made any difference at all in the buzzing (even the slightest amount)? do you just plug ... | |
| Low buzzing through speaks I will do the wire first thing tomorrow and report right back as soon as the experiment is completed Not a problem. We’ll take it from there. One other thing, I think you mentioned that your XLR cables were intertwined with other cables? Was th... | |
| Low buzzing through speaks You wouldn't by any chance live near the NH area would you? Be happy to pay for your services to come out, LOL! I do not. Sorry. That would make things a little easier wouldn't it. 😄 OK, so no spare XLR cables. Noted. Regarding the speaker wire... | |
| Low buzzing through speaks This would be an example of a device that lifts the shield on one end of the XLR cable. Female to XLR Male Ground Lift If willing, it would be interesting to see if this connector would produce any different buzz sound results when plugged in ... | |
| Low buzzing through speaks I have stripped the jacket off of a wire before but I’m already over my head as soon as we get past connecting stuff Thank you for being honest and admitting that. There’s only two more things I can think of at the moment that I’d like to try, ... | |
| Low buzzing through speaks So just wondering if you have any kind of wire stripper? Have you ever stripped the jacket off a wire? We’re definitely not going to take apart those nice XLR cables, but I’m wondering, before we go any further, what your skill level is here, so I... | |
| Low buzzing through speaks The cables are all less than 2 years old and they are Transparent Plus so they’re not cheaply made, they’re solid… I get it. I hear what you're saying. I'm not saying it's the fault of the cables yet. | |
| Low buzzing through speaks Ok, so you're saying that the buzz *did* take place when the first XLR cable was connected, but you just didn't hear because it was a rear speaker, yes? | |
| Low buzzing through speaks @kingbr I disconnected the first 4 XLR’s from the Mac leaving just 1 XLR between Mac and amp connected and buzz is gone??? Very interesting. OK, let’s stay on this path for a moment. From my understanding, and just so I’m 100% sure here, you’r... | |
| Low buzzing through speaks @kingbr So I just tried the cheater on the Mac and buzz still there OK, good to know. Still waiting to hear if 1) buzz is in all speakers with just one XLR cable connected 2) any difference when ground wire is connected between GND terminals ... |
