Boston Acoustics Media Theater HUM. The problem may be the power source. Find another DC power source for the 12 volt. All I had was a 14.5 volt 4.5 amps source Model PS6 power source which fit the plugin socket. Absolutely no hum now and still great sound. However, I would recommend a DC 12 volt source with at least 3 amps output.

You could have an earth loop. This is caused by connecting the speakers and the computer or hi-fi equipment into different mains outlets.
To fix this problem, connect all the equipment to a single power-board and the plug the power-board into a single mains outlet.

I have Cambridge Sound Works T300 speakers with basic set up to receiver. Speakers are plugged in, both emit a low hum. But no sound from speakers.

Question edited to get rid of all the dreadful abbreviations. The first section of the question box has limits on the amount of characters, but you can put 5,000 in the lower one.

This sounds to be an issue with the amp driving the speakers. Or perhaps interference from a nearby power wire or even a fridge in the next room. Also check connections and plugs for everything on the back of the amp and everything else connected.

Connect the speakers to another sound source to test.

I have a new Mackie ProFX12 Mixer and Harbinger Powered Speakers. When the Mixer is plugged in I get a hum. How do I get rid of the hum coming from my speakers?

Check cables first, then make sure everything is plugged into the same power ground. Hum is always caused by bad grounds or bad cables. Otherwise you have an internal component failure and without more information Im not sure which one it could be.

I hv a Memphis 1100 watt mono block n a kicker 12" l7 try to get rid of the flutter or hum at low volume tried just about everything suggestions plzzz

I once got a hum from running the rca and power wires side by side, separated em and problem was solved. Could also be something shorting to the frame, bad ground,cracked insulation on rca wires, the gain might be set to high or maybe the amps dying. It could take over a year for an amp to completely die. But you can always pick up an electronic noise eliminator from radio shack for like ten to twenty bucks

The humming sound from the speakers. how do u get rid of it?

i have the same probles woth my atp3 , connected to an airport express , and even to teh laptop itself. seems like it comes from static electricity around or within the speakers. try to change the location but i doubt if it will help alot.
if its the same sound i`m hearing then its really quite hum that is practicly unheardable while you play music , and if it bothers you while the speakers are not in use , just turn them off.
hope this helps

Constant hum from speakers

It sounds like you might have a grounding issue. Try connecting to the wall outlet with a ground prong lifting adapter. Not just the speakers but the source plugged into the speakers also. Good luck.

Humming from SUB333

Replace the plug, they most likely had a ground loop where it was plugged in and cut the common to get rid of noise. Replacement ends are easy to find at Home Depot, Lowes, ACE, etc. Try that first, if you still have an issue, post a comment and I can help you further. Hope this helps

Vizio 42'' HDTV flatscreen

The TV usually hums when the backlight setting is too low. So turning it up should get rid of the problem. To do this please follow these instructions:

1. Turn the TV on.
2. Press the Menu button on the remote, located right below the channel changing button.
3. Press the down direction button, located at the middle of the remote. Press that button until the backlight is highlighted.
4. Press the right direction button until the backlight is at 100.
5. Press the OK button and then the Exit button until you get back to your picture.
