Well I turned on the ole studio last weekend. I thought a felt a tingle when plugging in a patch cord to my mixer.

At first I thought I imagined it. Then my lips got zapped through the mic. That I didnt imaging.

I also realized that I got a shock when handling the main outs from my mixer to my power amp.

And the chassis of the amp itself was energized.

Why does my studio setup keep electricuting me?

So I've been trying to setup a studio in my new two story house. My upstairs is a large one room, loft like area that I want to use as my control room. There is a small door upstairs that leads to a uninsulated attic like storage space. In that space I drilled a doorknob sized hole in the floor. Directly below that hole is a closet to a bedroom downstairs.

Hi all. I just recently purchased a pair of Yamaha hs50m's which I'm using in conjunction with my Focusrite saffire firewire audio interface. To make a long story short I was getting some dreadful noise through the monitors. When I unplug the power supply from my laptop and run from battery power, the noise dissapears completely and my entire system is functional.
