Electro Harmonix voice Box Harmony Machine when power supply connected i heard hum from the mic output. With or without power and try to trace the path signal, I found out the +positive signal bleeds to negative - #1 pin on XLR mic output. How can I block the the power from entering to the negative pin on XLR mic output.

SOURCE: Can I hook up 2 separate power amps to PMP3000? I

Better way... Connect the main speakers via the Speakons and then put a Power Subwoofer to one of the Monitor connections IF you are not using both stage monitors. If you need to kill the lows to the mains, use the EQ in the PMP-3000.

Use the EQ that is USUALLY on the subwoofer to kill the highs to the sub.

Lot less cables and hardware.

REMEMBER for equipment safety, power ALL interconnected equipment from the same source be it a receptacle or power distribution system.

Powering parts of a system from receptacles strewn around a room is asking for trouble of ground loops and ground faults.

SOURCE: the mixer has xlr main output x2 and jack

The output jacks are PSUEDO balanced so use TRS cables and you should be able to drive two amps from each with no problem either as a WYE or daisy chained connection. The PSUEDO balanced connections do NOT drive differential voltages, but tie the return to ground through a 120 ohm resistor. It is imperative that you power ALL the amps and the mixer from the SAME receptacle or power conditioner. If you don't do this, expect lots of hum and risk of ground bounce damage to your equipment. Run extension cord if you need to.

Chorus on- no problem- noise free. Chorus off- big problem- massive hum. This item is supposedly "new" (stupid me, I bought from Ebay...)

It sounds like the bypass contacts on the pedal are not working... this may be right in the pedal switch itself. With unit in off position, use an ohmmeter to check continuity between in and out cable tips.

I have a electro-harmonix , voice box , harmony machine and vocoder! I need to know what kind of power supply to use , as I have lost mine !

Takes a 9 volt DC 1 amp (1000 ma) center positive adapter. Not too common, search online and at Ebay.

A big hum of 100 c/s in the output,i need the schematic for repair

You must be on 50Hz power. You don't really need a schematic to repair the unit. Since the hum is twice power line frequency, the likely cause is the electrolytic filter cap for the high voltage has failed. The cap should be obvious in the unit. It will be near rectifier diodes and have a voltage rating above 50 volts. To test, bridge the one in there with another cap observing the correct polarity. If hum changes, replace the original cap.

Distortion on vocal reproduction on Vocalist Live 2. Even with input volume down to minimum a loud vocal performance produces distortion on single voice and harmony output.

You need to check the actual signal levels to make sure they are within the specs for the unit. The mic input is low impedance. Your mic should be like a Shure SM58 or equivalent. The output is fairly high... up to +14DB which will require you to turn down the trims on a mixer this runs into or set a -20Db pad at the input. I suspect your distortion is from the device output to the mixer input. It is VERY important that the mic does NOT "hear" the speakers as the feedback loop resulting will be mass distortion. The guitar should also not "hear" the mains.

I have a Focusrite Pro 10 i/o Firewire Interface and am experiencing 60 Hz hum through the mic pres when phantom power is switched on with the power supply attached. Phantom power running from 6-pin...

I assume you are using condenser mics as you would NOT be using phantom power with any other type connected or other devices plugged in while you have phantom power. It is important to have ALL interconnected equipment, including the computer, powered from the SAME receptacle or power source. Make sure the power supply you are using is SPECIFICALLY for the unit from Focusrite as some supplies have filtering within the wall transformer module and others do not. The power supply MAY be generating magnetic fields... try moving it around and see if hum is affected. The capcitive coupling in a power supply can let in higher frequency components from lamp dimmers. Make sure you have no lamp dimmers anywhere near the equipment.

One speaker hums very loud with nothing plugged into it i own the mr-8

If this monitor is humming without nothing connected to it, maybe the electrolytic capacitors from its power supply are bad - they are responsible for filtering the fluctuation at the output of the internal voltage rectifiers that transform the AC input voltage into a DC voltage to feed its internal amplifier.

When they fail, the supply voltage for its internal amplifier that should be flat, continuous, now presents a pulsating profile, according to the mains frequency (generally 60 or 50 Hz, depending on the country you're in). So, the output of the amplifier will be varying at the same rate, producing the humming.

Another possibility is that one internal cable connection that should be shielded is now disconnected or loose and is picking the hum from the internal power supply.

Anyway, maybe you should take it to a service center and have it checked.

Hope this info may help you!

I get little sound out of the microphone spots onm my DA-X10Pro. I have a karaoke THE SINGING MACHINE. When I use my karaokee machine mic plug in the mic works fine...but any voice into the mic...

The mics on the singing machine are very low end mics and MAY not work on your other unit. The Voco has very sensitvie inputs to use with "professional" type microphones. The Singing machine mics are going to be fairly high output and likely to overload the voco inputs. Procure some professional mics like Shure, AKG, Sennheiser or others and don't forget to use a balanced to unbalanced adapter or cable on the mics.

My laptop is feeding through my Xenyx 1622fx mixer and output to my Mackie SRM450's. Getting the 'hum' which is a fuzzy noise. Is this solved with ground loop box?

Try hooking your mixer up to your Mackies without the laptop. Does the hum go away? Try hooking your laptop output up to the Mackies without the mixer. Does the hum go away? Make sure that all your power cables run from the same outlet and have the ground or third pin intact on the plug. Also make sure that you are using shielded cables for any connection that carries an audio signal. This includes the cables going to your Mackies as they are powered amplified monitors. Make sure that the cables to your Mackies are balanced and haven't been altered to unbalanced. You will need to use unbalanced cables from your laptop unfortunately but try to find ones with a shield and three conductors ( right and left signals and a common or ground) that have a separate shield from the common. The shield should only be connected to common at the output of the device where the signal starts. A better explanation is at these links:http://www.epanorama.net/documents/groundloop/ also http://www.epanorama.net/documents/groundloop/cable_shielding.html

Yamaha pt300. was working fine. Now only makes loud humming noise which doesn't repsond to change in volume. Monitor display shows keys register as being played, but no sound can be heard except loud...

Likely the power adapter has failed if it uses one. Try a new one first.

If half the rectifier blows out, a very impure DC voltage is applied which will be heard in the audio output.
