Question: The speaker hums when I connect something to its input…
Answer: The presence of a 60Hz hum in the speaker only when a
connection is made to another piece of equipment suggests the
presence of a ground loop. Such a loop is caused by electrical
interaction of the signal grounds on two pieces of equipment, and is
not necessarily an indication of broken gear. If a balanced connection
to the speaker is being used, the simplest way to correct this problem is
to lift the signal ground on the end of the connecting cable closest to
the signal source. NOTE: This is not to be confused with disconnecting
the safety ground on the power plug - this should be avoided at all
costs, as it can present a safety hazard. If an unbalanced connection is
being made to the speaker, a line coupler such as the Ebtech Hum
Eliminator can be used to eliminate the ground loop.
Question: Can I connect this to the speaker output of an amplifier?
Answer: When setting up your MR speaker, it is very important that you
DO NOT connect it to the output of an amplifier. The inputs of the
Thump series are made for non-powered outputs such as the main or
aux outputs from a mixer. The outputs of an amp will easily damage
and potentially cause a fire in just about any powered speaker such as
the MR series.
