How do I reduce the hum from this thing? I just got it today. Any suggestions???

First thing in my pedal board signal is a boss Noise Suppressor, which is always on. Beyond that, there's not much that can be done to tame the hum of the Magnum 44 as far as I know. Them's the breaks. I only own this as a back-up for any amp issues, not as my main amp.

If you are using a guitar cord from the output to the amp, you will get noise. What I do is use speaker wire which has no winding ground wrapped around the main (lead) wire. This prevents the cord from picking up outside interfernce.

Welcome to the hum club chum.You need to get your guitar shielded. I did and it helped. Also switch off cfl and computer monitors. Also, use a well conditioned power supply. Is tough. This guy picks up noise like no other. See ehx 44 magnum band on YouTube. The one with the long haired dude is me.

Ground Lift changes the polarity so if you are experiencing "humming", switch the lift and this should remove any un wanted noise. Coaxial inputs are to plug in an external recording devise. Hope that helps you!

I've never noticed mine to make any noise at all. When I checked again just now, I put my ear right up to the camera and could barely hear a little hum.

A constant low hum. I tune it out almost immediately. I've never had any office neighbors comment or complain on the noise. It's probably slightly louder than the occasional grinding noise my water heater/cooler makes.

It has a very low hum. We have it installed in an attic above the living room and it can't be heard from there.

I don't think I've heard any on mine. If you are hearing the hum while using the RCA jacks then maybe trying unplugging it from USB/have the turntable and speakers on separate outlets. If you are hearing it over USB then maybe just try the same isolation but between the computer and the turntable.

I am getting the same thing. It is a buzzing/loud humming noise. Anybody know if this is a defect or if something else can be creating this?

Hello Dale, don't forget about the volume control on the back of the unit. Also, switching the polarity might help on the buzzing sound. Hope this helps.

I wish I could help you but mine is very quiet, in fact I remarked to my husband about how quiet it was.Good luck with this problem.

it has a loud hum . I grounded the units directly to the Case of the Computer. It reduced the hum significantly. I replaced both units just last week because these are pretty much junk in my opinion.

I get the same thing from a Vizio. You could probably get an in-line noise filter to fix that problem but the hum mine isn't loud enough to bother me so I haven't done much.

Ours makes a small cyclic hum. You can hear it. It doesn't bother me, but everyone has different tolerances.

Mine does the same thing but I don't often notice it. Mayby a move to another area or chose a different speed setting. I leave mine on auto and moved it to a corner of the room and that solved the hum/whine issue.

That sound you are hearing is likely the in-body stabilization when you half-press the button. It is perfectly normal (if this is the use case scenario). If it just has this hum while not touching anything, sounds like you may have an issue.

Mine hums a little, but to hear it you have to be really close to the unit and have the sound volume low. Basically, it is transformer hum and because the transformers are toroidal, it does not find its way into the actual audio output, so I don't worry about it at all.

Sorry to be so long, but while the problem seemed to clear up, it suddenly developed the hum again. I have a Technics receiver with a phono output, so I have the turntable set to Phone Off. This worked until today, when it suddenly developed a hum, and when I tried to reconnect the wires the white wire produced a pronounced hum and the red wire produced an explosive pop. I played it this afternoon without incident, and have played it for hundreds of hours since last summer, but today the hum came back with a vengeance.

i've never noticed a hum. The red LED is a bit distracting, but I just turn it away from my line of sight. Seems to work just fine overall.Note: I am not an audiophile and don't hear frequencies much above 10 kHz. Sometimes other people hear things that I don't. FYI.
