Hi All,
I have a set of Yamaha MSP5s and notice there is a hum coming from them.
I've done some reading on the internet and they suggest a Ground Loop Isolator, or a "Cheat Plug" - Would this do the trick? http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx...t330&doy=search&MenuName=GROUND LOOP ISOLATOR
Here are some tests I have run...
If I disconnect all equipment hooked up to the MSP5s (my monitor speakers), there is no hum, they are silent.
If I plug my piano directly into the MSP5s, there is slight noise (slightly higher more crackly than just an electrical hum, but not crackly enough for it to sound like there is dust in the cables/connectors).
If I plug my headphones into my piano, there is no noise through the headphones.
If I plug my HD8 into the MSP5s (with the piano plugged into the HD8), there is also noise (the same as if the piano was directly plugged into the MSP5s).
I have not tried my MSP5s directly into the HD8 with no piano plugged in yet.
If I plug my rack mounted sound module into the HD8, and connect to the MSP5s, again, it's the same noise.
I have not tried my MSP5s directly into the HD8 with no piano or sound module plugged in yet.
This is going to get really irritating. I have also replaced them with brand new leads etc, and that has not made a difference.
Any ideas will be really helpful
Thanks!
