After several years with the same physical setup, I have a new hum in my
systm. I have a dual monitor PC with LCD screens placed between a pair of Tannoys. The Tannoys are driven by the CRM outs on a Soundcraft Ghost. The system has been very quiet. Last Friday, as I was powering up the system for a Nuendo mix session, I had a hard drive problem. After repairing the PC, and finally getting everything going on Saturday, I have a hum. The hum only occurs when 1) The LCD's are on and receiving a signal from the PC and 2) when Bus A is being sent to the Tannoys. If I turn off the LCD's (or the PC) the hum goes away. If I switch to bus b, 2trk A or 2trk B, there's no hum. All of the tape ins/outs/inserts go to a patch bay, where it's lined up with a pair of Tascam 24 tracks. I first brought the bus A gain all the way down, with no effect, then I panned every channel left, with no effect (hum is from both speakers), I then pulled every cable except power and speaker cables from the Ghost with no effect. So it seems that my bus A got screwed somehow. My Question is: is there anything I can pull apart and look at? I am not an electronics wiz - I can solder my own cables (and do). I'd rather not take the time (and money) to get it to the local repair shop, and if I did, I don't know that the problem would be reproducible without sticking the same PC in place. With low expectations, but still hoping, Greg |
