yeah, figured i'd come back to you, as a few of the guys stated you likely had a better handle... &...previous posts did Not get much thru the community, save those guys ...so in as small a nutshell as possible
the unit Tascam DP-008-EX , 8 track recording
all the guitars ( electric acoustic) do the same thing ...
HUM
a Breedlove, a Taylor and a lower end Martin
1 guitar cable, i know to be "better" than the other, and did try the XLR cable i have, with a TS on the other end,
so plugged all the guitars into that for a test = same = hum
now this occurs with A/C power only, no issue when using battery power
this is also a separate room, for my toying around w/ the instruments ....
so, unplugged everything else, and plugged the unit directly into the wall outlet,
( overhead light was left on, but nothing else on that room's circuit)
same = hum
it had been in a power strip, along w/ the speakers ... so... none of these different options
have even minimized, let alone, eliminate the humming ...
what does eliminate it is !
if i touch / pinch the guitar cable housing, as it enters the guitar's jack...? ? ?
does that with the 2 guitar cables , which are metal housings and the XLR / TS cable, which is plastic ?!?
now, my main room which has my home theatre 9.1 surround / OLED TV / etc ... never any hum or issues
ugggh ...
thanx
