  • what, if I have hum when using my guitar outside into an interface connected to a battery powered laptop?

  • Thanks for sharing. I have a larger monitor connected to my pc when streaming, for some reason, that causes a buzz in the live stream. However, if I disconnect the 27" monitor, the buzzing stops. I switched the outlet where the monitor is plugged in; added a widows plug 🙂 and changed the HDMI cable, neither helped. will this Humx fix the problem, I also heard of a ferrite choke. Hope you can help. Best

  • Hi.
    In the video you said if you use a portable battery there wouldn't be a problem. But I just bought a EcoFlow river2 portable battery, but when I connect it to my amplifier, I hear a buzz. A small one with my acoustic amplifier Marshall AS50R. But when I use my electric, Orange Crush 35RT, the buzz is louder.
    Do you have any suggestions to what I could do to reduce or remove the buzzing sound?

    Oh and I live in Europe so 230V here, in case that matters.

    Any help is greatly appreciated! Have a great day!!

    10% of all audio problems: bad ground.
    The best solution is to bury an engine block in your back yard, water it regularly, and pull all your grounds off your Public utility return and connect them to the buried engine block.
    You're welcome.

  • Thank you I just solved my annoying humming problem with my studio monitors. With a pair of those cheap ground eliminator adaptors. Worked perfectly, thanks again.

  • I thought that was an eloquently delivered dissertation. About grounding loop de loops. And other fun, hair ripping stuff.

    I don't know what's in that little electrical adapter to, alleviate, ground loops? I have an even better method. I've been using for, 33 years now. And it takes care of everything. What is this thing?

    You go to your, industrial electrical supply store. And you request a, 1 to 1, 120 volt, 20 amp. Power Isolation Transformer. It's little bigger than your fist. You plug it into the electrical wall outlet. And then you plug. All of your audio equipment into that. Up to, 2000 Watts worth of audio gear. As you are now, Totally Electrically Isolated. You are getting power. Without actually being coupled to the incoming power lines. Your wires are not touching any of the AC electrical wires. You are isolated. Disconnected from. While getting power. Electromagnetically! Like Magic! It's, magic. It's called Induction. Not connection. While you are getting power you are not connected. Magic!

    And then you can use a passive, microphone splitter box. And take separate feeds for each microphone the band has onstage. This is the old-fashioned way of doing that. The way I had been doing it starting over 40 years ago. It's changed a bit since then. Now nobody has to do anything. You just select a preset and Voilà! There's your, Grammy! Now wasn't that easy?

    I want to become senile at my own pace!

  • This is unequivocally the worst video I have ever seen. Use diagrams and stop talking. What a terrible explanation.

  • The standard here in the us is to bond the neutral cable to earth ground at the house's/building's power panel. Let that sink in.

  • When we let go of the guitar strings, a huge hum is created. Is it true that by using a wireless connection that that hum does not exist? Because I saw that someone said that when using wireless connections that you can let go of the guitar strings and there will be no hum, (and it also protects you from any possible electrical shocks). Does anybody know if this is true? (I am not talking about 60 cycle hum or RFI.) Is it true that with using a wireless transmitter that you do not need to ground your guitar strings by touching them?

  • Bought 2 for my stereo rig and ah…….very minimal improvement for $400.0 AU not worth a dime.

  • Let me get this straight. You can create a ground loop if both devices are plugged into one big battery? They do not have connections to each other kudt draw power from the same battery pack.
