Re: [Doepfer_a100] Re: Serious Hum Problem in Modular System

Hello,

you did not truely answer the central question:

does the hum exist, if you do not connect the Doepfersystem to any 
mixer, but use a VCA-out or A138-Mixerout with an headphone?

If yes: the fault is in the Doepfer system.

If no: the fault is in the groundwiring of your power connections.

The Doepfer system  needs no additional ground, but it definitely 
requires that all connected devices (A100 racks, external mixer, 
poweramp, effects) share one common power ground. The power connector of 
all A-100 racks MUST be three prong connectors and the multi power 
socket bar must use all three lines.
