MD buzz problem

MD buzz problem

2002-03-23 by mrhardacid

I've just uploaded a file to the Files are called "Buzz.MP3".  It's a 
recording of the buzzing noise that my MD makes.  The file starts 
with just my mixer, and no other audio devices turned on.  Then, I 
turn on the MD and you'll hear the buzz.  I turn off the MD and you 
can hear the radio for just a moment... 

Any ideas?


Thanks!

That buzz you have is loud!  I think I can hear a _little_ bit of AC hum
on my MD, and it's not dead silent as far as noise goes, but it's not
nearly that bad.  Maybe cleaner AC going into it would help.  Remember
that the MD's transformer is just an AC step down transformer so there's
real AC going into the MD.  This is just a guess but this may make it more
sensitive to power problems than a comparable DC in device.

Good luck!

Eric

Do you hear the Buzz when listening to the MD with
headphones (not plugged to the mixer)?
I had a similar problem with a synth before and it
turned out to be the connections to the mixer. Who knows...
