Im experiencing static on speakers when using XLR cables. Specifically whenever I connect the left side XLR.. right side is fine and rca cables are fine as well. What do I do?
Hello Rio868,
Welcome to the forum area.
Please
- List the brand & model of the speakers you connect to DJC Inpulse T7 XLR outputs, and which input you use on these speakers.
- Describe the noise you describe as static
- Is it a bass noise or a high pitched noise or something else?
- Is the noise continuous/at some moments (and then at which moment)?
- Is the noise the same whatever the volume setting on T7 master knob?
- Is the noise the same whether you play or don't play audio?
- Does the noise change if you touch the XLR cable?
- I'm using altec lansing 15" speakers. Gemini GSP-L2200PK Active 15".
- I'm using the Line in XLR input on speakers.
- I'm using a 2 to 1 XLR cable 10ft.
- When I connect to the left XLR output on T7 I get feedback. A continuous (hiss/hum). You can hear the feedback with and without audio playing on platters.
- I have ruled out the issue being the speakers and the XLR cable.
- I tried using the morley hum eliminator and there was no change.
- I tried using the ground option on speakers and thee was no change.
- Hiss/ feedback when both XLR outputs are plugged in.
- Hiss / feedback when only the left side is plugged in
- No hiss / feedback when only the right side is plugged in.
- No hiss when using RCA cables
Thanks
Hi,
I do not find a detailed GSP-L2200PK user manual, but a short 11-page per language summary GSP-2200/ GSP-L2200, without the specification of XLR input level.
What do you call a 2 to 1 XLR cable?
Im referring to an XLR splitter cable. 2 Female to 1 Male cable.
Hi,
I do not understand why using split cables instead of standard XLR to XLR cable, as I have already used such cables microphones (to connect 2 microphones to 1 input) but I would not daisy chain speakers as I chain drums microphones.
Have you tested connecting a regular XLR (female) to XLR (male) cable connected from the sound source XLR left output to the speaker input?
Hello Rio88,
If,
- when you connect the XLR cable + speaker on DJC Inpulse T7 right XLR master out, you hear good audio quality,
- and then, after switching off the T7 controller and the speaker, you connect the same XLR cable + speaker on DJC Inpulse T7 left XLR output, you switch the T7 on, you switch the speaker On, and you get a continuous hiss noise,
then I suppose there is a defectiveness or a bad setting in the T7, and you should contact Hercules support team (on https://support.hercules.com/en/contact-en/) to get an exchange.
