Help! Humming/Radio Interference - Powered Speaker Hey guys this is my first DJ set up so I need some help on what to do with my sound. I'm getting a significant loud "humming" noise AND to top it off I hear a loud radio host talking about politics... talk about buzz kill when I'm trying to mix DJ Set-up Gear: 1. VCI-100 SE (Traktor Scratch Pro) 2. MBP 13 3. Saffire 6 USB External Audio 4. Technic RP-DJ1200a 5. [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Monster-PRO-800-Color-Coded-Performance/dp/B0002ZO5WC"]Amazon.com: Monster MP PRO 800 with Clean Power Stage 1, Surge Protection, and 8 Color-Coded Outlets High Performance Pro PowerCenter: Electronics@@AMEPARAM@@http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41BEDVt2bGL.@@AMEPARAM@@41BEDVt2bGL[/ame] 6. Two RCF ART-312As *Note: All items were purchased new. Location: On Campus Apartment Overview: So first I connected all the power plugs into the Monster Pro 800 (I purchased this after I went to Guitar Center and told them about my problem) Now I connected my VCI-100SE and Saffire 6 USB to my macbook pro via USB. Both are updated to it's most recent versions. I connected the ART312a powered speakers from it's XLR to the Saffire 6's TRS 1&2 Outputs (the cables are 10 feet long btw) so I assumed the connection would be balanced thus no humming/interference coming from the speakers. I am obviously wrong. Now when I brought my gear to Guitar Center and just hooked up one of the speakers with the saffire 6 & mbp the speaker was pretty silent. A slight hum but it was fine. I tried in different rooms of my apartment and I still get the same radio frequencies coming from the speakers along with the humming. I re-arranged my set up at different angles and made sure all my gear was physically close together but still no luck. Also the volume knob on the speakers have no effect on the loudness/quietness of the humming and radio. I have NO idea what I need to do and these are the only speakers I have to mix with at home lol. So ANY "feedback" appreciated! | |
