I have the Hercules mk2 midi console and when I plug my rca in the back my speaker starts to produce a loud humming noise. The speakers are brand new and they are the B215D so they arent knock off speakers I also bought brand new live wire rca cables. Ive pretty much came to the conclusion that its in my midi console but I need help on what in the console would be making it do it that way I can get it fixed. Please help me out Thanks

Ground loop. I second that.

this is a good one although its a little expensive than others. proven to work great with the hercules rmx because i had the same background noise issue. The grounding humm comes from the laptop Charger if using a laptop.

It might help things if you explain what you did to remove the hum..
was the static there before?
How long of a cable is going from the MK2 to the speaker?

Hey my friend,have you tried this? It's the most inexpensive item recommend by "Cstroll" and stopped all my humming problems altogether. Most likely its from your laptop adapter so just buy one of these grounding adapters. You don't have to buy it online but any local electrical store just show them the picture of one and they'll give you one. Its way cheap less than a dollar.

Radio shack sells RCA adapters that can tie in on should help clear it up. is everything tied into the same power strip or differnt outlets. you could try removing the ground plug but thiis is not reccomended. I hope this can help.

i know it was weird , it usually is
didn't mean to irritate
i never whiff on an opportunity , when it happens , to show how vague we can be with our communications......
i personally am always amazed at all the requests for help here at this site for (usualy software) issues where the poster
1) automatically attributes the fault to VDJ
b) does not even give info such as operating system , or VDJ version
this was a common hardware problem usually hums are cured by lifting the ground on the computer , the amp , or both
those adapters are good and you need them sometimes not for hums but for an old establishment with only 2 prong outlets
