if i use a Behringer HD400 MICROHD Hum Destroyer do you think it will eliminate the hum in my sound...i was told that the hum was because of cheap equipment though my equipment wasnt exactly cheap...i just need to know before i buy it.
 
What exactly is your equipment, and how is it interconnected?

Some more details will get you better answers - maybe the hum can be gotten rid of without buying more equipment.
 
Behringer and noise removal are an oxymoron. Gives us more details and we'll be sure to help out :)
 
The best hum remover is to eliminate it at the source, not try to remove it afterward. You likely have a ground loop somewhere, or a bad cable. Before you go trying to fix it by throwing a hum eliminator at the problem, first try to troubleshoot the problem and really fix it.

1. Make sure all your AC is in order. No ground lifters, all AC coming from the same branch circuit.

2. Go through all your interconnects and look for a bad cable.

3. If no luck with these, work from the power amp or powered monitors backward. No hum with just the pwr amp and no input? Connect the next device upstream - any hum? Keep going till you find it.
 
Yes, I think it will work.
It is also true that it is often very diffucult to completely eliminate 60 cycle hum from signal chains.

I suggest trying all the tricks suggested, but then use the hum eliminator if you need to also. I use the hum-eliminator inside my Roland VS1680 quite frequently and it works great.
 
Also when I get hum, I try eq'ing, with a parametric eq on 60 Hz with minium gain (usually -20 or -15 dB) and with the tightest Q (bandwidth), and if needed, to some of the harmonics too.
 
electro harmonics makes a pedal that does this as well.. probably will work alot better..


what are you romoving hum from? tell us what your working with
 
My bass players guitar seems to act as an antenna in my studio, he has to find the 'sweet spot' in the room before the hum goes away, lol. WTF? I have an 8' ground rod burried in the ground so Im pretty sure thats not the problem, no flourescents, no dimmers. He plays a Ric 4001 but Ive had roblems with other instruments in that area also.
