Re: A6 & Ion PSUs are noisy!

2006-07-20 by Moreno

Hi Lucin, I could guess it's a problem with the electricity because 
when the Ion and the A6 were switched off it was making anyway ground 
noise. And when i unplugged the electric cables, there were no more 
bad unwanted sound artefacts but just plain silence. It was such a 
pleasure. My other synths (that are connected in multi-outlets) don't 
make any ground noise. I guess their manufacturers had done a better 
job in their PSU. Anyway, i solved the problem.

I have also a MD and i did experience momentarily the same problem. 
But now it's ok.

Machinedrum. I found out that the midi cable going into the 
machinedrum was not well sheilded and acted as an antenna for RF. 
Make sure that when you assess the problem that you disconnect the 
midi cables to see if the problem is then aleveated. Let me know how 
it works out for you.
