I have the same issue with my EP500 my triggers cause my hum. Once I pull the trigger plug out hum is gone.
I removed the ground screws but it is still there any ideas??Hum is in all speakers/

RJ, try to make sure the trigger cables are not running parallel and close to power cables. That's one way for noise to get in. Cables made with twisted wires may help.

Twisted cables reduce noise. So should I be separating my cables and twisting them?

I quick internet search comes up with many plausible and wordy explainations about electromagnetic fields and balancing when twisted.

I doubt many folks would need to do this. Maybe only if you where having noise issues.

Kinda cool though that that would work.

Twisted cable is the real deal. It's not snake oil. Of course if the environment is electro-magnetically benign or the equipment is immune, then you don't need it.

Sound more like ground loop problem rather than an injected signal one.

It usually is in audio. I wish someone would outlaw three prong plugs.

I have the hum with my LFR1100As and ADA1500s. When I turn on the overhead floods in cans, I get the subwoofers humming as well.

A ground loop is in the audio. The ground reference of one side is moving relative to the other ... one side is putting out zero volts relative to its ground and the other sees a signal because it’s ground is waving around relative to that zero volt output ... but you knew that ...
