Elektron Musical Instruments

Congrats on your new gear. I just got my Mono Machine, and have had my
Machine Drum for some time. Awesome gear as you well know. So lets see ...

Did you get the units new? Can you hear that nasy noise if you were to
plug your headphones into the output A/mono of the units? Or are you
stating that you hear it when you hook up the units to your mixer?
