ten fingers ten toes Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 So, for a while, Ive had an annoying little hum comming from my setup. I wrote it off as a shit ground loop, mostly because the wiring in my apartment bears little resemblance to a modern electrical plan. However, I turned my Kawai off the other day to move it and noticed the hum stopped immediately. Turn it on? Hum. Off? no hum. On with no volume? Hum. Unpluged 1/4" leads from mixer? No hum. So I haven't really done any more troubleshooting and I will on my own at some point but, could this be something as simple as dirty contacts or something? The 1/4" cables are brand new (although shity guitar center ones), so I doubt it's them.

Guest we_kill_soapscum Posted February 28, 2007 Report Share Posted February 28, 2007 try these things: 1. lose grounding on whatever you record into, ie mixer or computer or both (with 3-2 adapter) 2. try plugging kawai into same power strip as everything else 3. try plugging kawai into different power strip as everything else 4. combine 1 with 2 and 3 if that don't work, panic Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/18023-somewhat-broken-kawai-k5000s/#findComment-372208 Share on other sites More sharing options...
