Frequently Asked Questions

Q- If I have a full P.A System and get a lot of humm from the speaker's , would i connect this ground loop isolator to the Cable that goes to the amp - George

Answer- Assuming they have the relevant connection on them then yes the ground loop isolator should fit and should be a good choice for eliminating ground based hum.

Q- Hi, I have a low frequency hum from a sub, which I believe is caused by a ground loop. Assuming it is, will this cure the problem? - A Boothroyd

Answer- Yes the product should cure a ground loop hum on a sub

Q- I get a crackling noise when I connect my laptop to any type of speaker/mixer (e.g. Powered mixing desk, PC speakers, Headphones) Would this product stop this crackling noise? - Bob

Answer- Yes the product does support that.

Q- I bought a cable to go into the aux input on a hifi in order to connect devices (ipod/digital radio/laptop). It does work and the sound does come out, but there is a lot of hum/background noise. Would a Ground Loop Isolator at solve this problem? - Jason Dixey

Answer- The ground loop isolator is unlikely to remove distortion or hum from a signal unless the hum/distortion is caused by a ground loop (ground noise is commonly found on mains connected items so if the items are mains connected then the isolator may help).

Q- would it have any negative effect on the music quality - Blazing Riff

Answer- Any difference to signal quality would be negligable to the point of undetected.

Q- Hello, on your Ground Loop Isolator it says it has a frequency response of 20Hz - 20kHz. Does this mean that it stops any frequency over 20Khz or just doesn't filter it? - Smeeble

Answer- It doesnt filter it

Q- Is there a version of the ground loop isolator that fits jack plugs ? - Rick

Answer- unfortunately not but you could adapt the phono connectors to jacks using converters such as RW01B

Q- Does this product require it's own power supply? - Matthew

Answer- This is not required

Q- I have a humm coming out of the speakers - steve

Answer- There are no guarantees as such but a ground loop isolator should certainly help reduce if not remove amp hum.

Q- Should I connect this close to the speaker input or at thethe source end or doesn't it matter? - Mark B

Answer- usually it is recommended to place it nearer to the source but is hsould not make a major difference to performance either way.
