Problem solved. Tech found a couple bad solder points in the mixer.

Been a bit since I was here last. I bought a Mackie SDR24 a couple weeks back being I have the Mackie board. Thought they might be more compatible. Same hum with the SDR. Put in a separate outlet just for them and still hum. I think maybe it is the board power supply that is the problem. Have...

Posted this in another section and got a lot of tech stuff . If I go from the mixer to my ADATs there is no hum, but going from ADAT to mixer I get a hum. I have 2 ADATS and also tested with the other ADAT and get the same thing....I can hook up the mixer to any of my other recording devices...

Hooking up a couple blackface ADATs...Having difficulty finding DE-9 cables. Have seen cables online that say they are for ADATs but they are D Sub 9 cables...Are these compatible?

Got to go pick up one of my other blackface ADATs the other day and it also hums on the tape returns to the mixer. No hum on the outs when recording. The Mackie is basically new even though from the 90's. Bought it from a friend who bought it new and never even opened the boxes. Had it cleaned...

Thanks Rob.. All the I/O connections between my mixer and ADAT are 1/4 inch. I'm not having any problems with mics. It's the connections between mixer and ADAT. Like I stated above I get no hum between the outs to the ADAT. The hum occurs coming from the outs on the ADAT to the tape returns...

I tried what Old Music Guy said about grounding from the ADAT to the mixer. It did lower the hum a bit but not to a usable level.

Ok , another interesting twist. When I just hook up the outputs from the Mackie there is no hum. I can go from my Zoom to the Mackie to the ADAT and no hum...:confused: But as soon as I plug another cable between the outs on the Mackie to the ins on the ADAT (having unplugged the outs from the...

Hi...Tried that and the hum is still there. But I'm not sure that shows anything.

Hi Dave . The ADAT I'm using is a blackface unit. I am listening thru headphones so so active monitors are not in the equation . The ADAT has TS cables . The mixer is a Mackie 24/8/2.

Ok. Been snowed in today so was checking a few things out on the hum. Checked out the house wiring and found everything is good there. Narrowed a couple things down. The hum doesn't seem to be power related. So next I checked all connecting cables. Nothing there. Don't know why I didn't catch...

Thanks for all the replies. I wasn't going to leave anything without a ground. I plan to take it to a tech in the next couple days. I've been buzzed a couple times also. Really can't figure out why the Mackie is the only thing I plug it into that creates the hum..

Thanks for the reply..I plugged the ADAT into the outlet using a ungrounded to grounded adaptor and that took care of the problem. So guess I'll whip up a ground lift box.....Thanks Papanate..

Not sure if this is the right place for my question. If not please let me know. I'm having a problem with hooking up my ADAT to a Mackie console. When they are connected there is a hum on the mixer that goes away when I turn off the ADAT. I can plug anything else in (mic ,instrument, my zoom...

Not much activity on this section:cry:..... But anyway, I'm looking for Alesis BRC remote if anyone might have one for sale...Thanks
