Hi---

I recently built an isolated piece of furniture for my CPU. and sent it a few feet away from my control room. Silence is golden and I now enjoy it.

However, there is a hum in my Event 20/20 bas that is constant whenever they're powered. This hum was always there but never bothered me, but now with no CPU noise, it became more noticeable.

The power outlets in my studio are grounded and I'm using surge protectors. But what should I do to eliminate this noise?

Any help is always welcome,

Thanks!

gasy--

Thanks for your reply. Excuse my ignorance, but what do you mean by symetric connections? Right now I have TRS (mixer out) - XLR (monitor in) cables of the same type on each monitor. Unless there is something as "matched pair" of audio cables, I don't know what symetric connections mean.

Right now audio and electrical wires from the same speaker are not touching ...

Thanks

yeah mine hum too, didn't notice till everything else was quiet and I was in a smaller room. It's mechanical hum caused by the transformer. In fact my Lucid 8824's do it too.....Event doesn't have much to say but send it back, mine are too old for that so i'll have to wait till i'm ready to crack them open and see if I can't use rubber washers/foam to help isolate the transformer....

Well, that's fine.

There are two types of audio connection : symetric ones (with Jack TRS and XLR) and ... asymetric ones. The differences are explained [[url=http://[/URL]="http://www.ziggyson…"]here[/]="http://www.ziggyson…"]here[/] but it's in French. I didn't found English links yet. Sorry
