Noise from equipment;

Hello. Im new here but it isnt most important. I have a question referring to noise.
I have a high quality audio interface connected to the ins of the Behringer FBQ 1502
equalizer (Line Out ---> EQ Inputs). Outputs from the EQ are connected to Behringer
MDX 1600 Compressor using CHINCH cables with CHINCH // JACK 6.3 mm adapters.
Output from MDX 1600 is connected to the MIXER which I use to switch between
HEADPHONES and SPEAKERS listening.

I noticed some noise when listening through HEADPHONES. I checked it with
no FBQ and MDX in the signal path and I have got a completely noise-free
signal. It is not a hum but it sounds more like a quiet sine wave and other
noise with it. Could You have any idea how to remove that noise from the signal ?

I cant work comfortably when I hear it.

Maybe the cables or adapters are making it ?

I thought about changing the cables, but Im not sure about the result...

cheers,

Styropain

The answer is yes, but I would like to use this hardware. It is the reason of buying it.
My question is more about making the signal noise-free with this equipment connected.

I dont believe that FBQ or MDX can make so loud noise.

Then hook up one in the chain...listen...
then the other.

Then both...if it the noise keeps adding up then there ya go.

Curious.. " I have a high quality audio interface connected to the ins of the Behringer.." etc.
Do you mean mixer feeds into the interface?
Anywho, you may want to see if the levels you're working at feeding the eq and/or comp or mixer are well up into their normal operating ranges.
" S/N ratio 22 Hz to 22 kHz >94 dB @ +4 dBu "

That's somrwhat less than 16bit performance,maybe you're working too low.
