HI. I have a 60 cycle hum coming out of my Mackie 24/8 mixing board. I have tried lifting the ground but it doesn't help. Is there a way of using a graphic equilizer to take it out. Any suggestions would really be great.
Thanks,
Nipp

Most often, the hum is caused by a difference in ground potential. You need to be sure that the entire sound system is all on the same circuit. This includes amps, outboard, everything. If you have to run extension cables then do, but it is important to do this. Try to run this from a clean circuit as well. One that is dedicated just for audio and nothing else, especially lighting. Hope this helps.
