VCI-400 Ground?
Posted on: 03.05.2012 by Trevor Sonney
My VCI-400 came with a ground cable. However I could not find what do to/where to install it on the device.
Any ideas? Did your VCI-400's come with them? My VCI-400 is not the EGE, although I don't see how this would make a difference if it was.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

That cord is for the standalone mixer function the vci 400 has. So you can plug in you turntable in the phono input and use channels three and four for external inputs

20.05.2012		those of use using european power supplies with our pc laptops suffer from something known as a ground loop (dunno what causes it, but it doesn't happen if your running on batteries) this makes a hum that is usually only noticable if you play at less than 0db or if you stop the music. this wire is used to isolate your vci-400 and help to eliminate this

I just use an ground loop isolator, they cost maybe a tenner and work perfectly

04.05.2012		There's a nickle plating screw located nearby the USB input jack...loosen it and attach the grounding cable's terminal with it and touch the other end with any grounding.

Use it when you feel your VCI-400 has grounding issue but most of the time it is not necessary...
