You have all heard that dreaded 60Hz hum through the speakers in a home theater or home audio system. Hopefully heard it on a friend's house and not his own. It can drive you crazy. You may have even tried, unsuccessfully, to solve the problem low noise. That can make it even crazier. What causes that horrible noise through the speakers?

More often than not through the speakers humming is caused by a grounding problem. There are three main problems that cause problems in earth system audio / video. These are the ground loops, improper grounding and lack of land altogether. The other possible culprits that can cause noise are bad cables, a defective piece of equipment or electrical noise of a lighting dimmer or electric motor. There are steps you can take to solve the noise and remove it from the theater.

The first step is to figure out where it's coming. Disconnect the power and equipment of your receiver or surround processor. If the noise stops, connect back to the receiver or processor at a time until the noise again. When noise becomes, is where the noise is entering your system. Note that if you connect the remote computer, as the execution of the signal your theater DVD player to the TV in the bedroom, their ability to pick up dramatically increase noise. With these long runs, noise can be induced in long cable runs adjacent electrical installation. It is also easy to create a ground loop, because the computer is plugged into two different, widely spaced outlets on different electrical circuits.

If the noise is caused by a cable box, the noise is likely caused by the cable television field. To test this theory, unplugging the input cable to the back of the cable box or TV while they are still connected to the rest of the system. If the noise is removed by disconnecting the cable TV, the problem is the cable television field. You can electrically separate the power cable from your system with a revolutionary and transformer. These are available from many sources. Note that many new, digital TV systems require any device cable chain signal to pass 1,000 Mhz. Some of the older transformers that will not break down. Be sure to check the specifications of any device you are buying to verify who will pass the digital signal cable.

If the noise of the projector, TV or monitor, it is most likely caused because video display is plugged into an outlet different from the other teams of A / V It could be in a different circuit. These circuits may have two different potentials grounded. That is, the resistance to ground is different for each circuit. A difference in ground resistance of a ground point to another can cause the dreaded ground loop. If you get a ground loop, current flows between the two components. If the current flows through the earth's internal components of the audio signal, you will receive a buzz.

You can use an isolation transformer, similar to those used for the land problems of cable TV to eliminate the connection power from one component to another. These transformers are inserted in line with the connection of the audio signal between the two components. If there is no audio connection between components, the problem may be current flowing through the video. In this case, a video isolation transformer should be used to eliminate the ground loop.

Sometimes power conditioners will stop noise problems by placing teams in different outlets electrically isolated. This is done through isolation transformers. Sometimes this is ineffective, however, due to differences in the internal construction of the different conditioning equipment energy. Some safety standards such as UL 1950 specifies that an isolation transformer is only allowed to isolate the hot and neutral wires, ground wire is must pass directly through. If this is the case, the ground loop problem may still exist because the communication circuits are connected to the earth conductor and not neutral. In this case, the isolation transformer or any power conditioner or UPS with an isolation transformer will have absolutely no effect on the grounding problem.

The noise can be generated on the outside with a dimmer or refrigerator compressor for example, and entering through the main power input of audio and video equipment. In this case, a high quality power conditioning can be effective to reduce or eliminate the noise problem. You may also find that one of the interconnecting cable signal on your system is defective. This may also cause noise problems. Verify this by swapping the cables with one that you know is good.

You can solve most noise problems in your home theater or multi room audio / video system by taking the systematics, step by step. His work ethic of the signal chain, removing each piece of equipment on the fly. If you have nothing connected to the speakers, except Speaker wiring and still Hum, the problem is noise induced in the speaker wiring from adjacent power cables. Apart from this case, most problems are caused by problems of land that can be found, and resolve, if you take one step at a time.

Description

Monster multiple surge guard circuitry absorbs harmful power surges to give you audio video system protectionharmful power surges and voltage spikes can travel up ac power and coax connections and damage your components. Lightning, automatic garage doors, power tools, refrigerators and fluorescent lights all cause power surges and voltage spikes that can travel up ac power lines and coax cables to damage the sensitive electronic circuitry of your connected audio video components. Ordinary surge protectors, or the so-called "value brands", often fail to provide the adequate level of protection your av components need. Plus, standard surge protectors often cause as much as 20 to 30db of signal loss which can adversely affect the output performance levels of coax connections. Proper connection to an advanced surge protector that offers integrated system protection can help minimize the risk of permanent surge damage. Unlike standard surge protectors, the monster PowerCenter av800 with Surgeguard protection provides multiple layers of defense against harmful surges. Strategically placed multiple metal oxide varasitors respond within one nanosecond (a billionth of a second) to power surges and voltage spikes before they can reach and damage your audio video components. Plus, monster's ultra-low loss RF circuitry minimizes signal loss to maintain the peak output performance of your coax connections. monster PowerCenters make life easier.
