Noisy outputs

2003-04-05 by ui_groove

Hi,

I was wondering if this was a problem that, a) other users 
experience and is normal, and b) if not, if it's something that can 
be fixed by an Emu authorized repair shop.

Basically, the outputs on my Emax, when connected to my mixer, 
emit a high pitched whine/buzz. It's subtle but quite noticeable 
(and annoying, particularly on quiet passages of music), 
especially if the volume on the mixer is higher.

Is this something that's just due to a machine that's this old, or 
can it be fixed? (It's the only piece of gear I have that does this,
all 
my other pieces are fine...)

Thanks!

No,youre emax2 = not old
I also have this problem,and mailed EMU-tech support about this,
they say,that this is a faulty connection to the mixer,
its emmitting GROUNDLOOPS,you should shield the Emax

I haven't had any noticable noise on mine. However, I had mine
serviced not long after I got it and a "dirty" output was replaced. Do
you happen to have a fan in your model? (was implemented on most HD
models). That could be interfering, though I have one in mine and
haven't had the problem.
