Moniter Interferance

MINIMALTECHNOHOUSE · Post by **MINIMALTECHNOHOUSE** » Mon Jul 09, 2007 5:10 pm

My PC moniter causes annoying feedback through my (sound) moniters....

It only started when i bought some active KRKs but stops if the (PC) moniter is turned off????

Ive tried moving them around but to no avail...

Any ideas would be much appreciated.....

Thanks

i would try to take the ground cable away (if you have one...)

This is my set up...

to

Line input of a DJM 600

Ive even detached the ground cables form my 1210s but its still there....

Thanks for the help though man... Much appreciated

no i mean the ground cable of the computer,
it happens sometimes that electricity goes through the ground cable
and genrates a buzz when connected to external amplifiers.
if this is what happens you can solve the problem disconnecting the
ground of the power socket of the computer. there are also "ground loop isolators" that can fix this without disconnecting the ground cable, you can google around to find more information. but i'm not 100% sure that is what happens with your computer....
