I’m hoping someone out there can help me out with this humming problem. It’s starting to drive me nuts.
I have an axiom system with the EP500 sub, I’ve been getting that 60hz buzzing for quite awhile now, it’s to the point that I only plug the thing in when I want to watch an action movie and I know the buzz will be drowned out by everything else.
I’ve done some research and tried some things but everything so far has failed. Here’s what I’ve tried.
1) Remove ground screw (worked for a little bit but hum came back)
2) Bypass the ground by plugging the cord into one of those 3 to 2 prong adapters (made it worse)
3) Unplug cable TV from cable box to check for interference…no change
4) Plug into different outlets .. sometimes gives temporary relief
5) Unplug the input cable from sub…this works which makes me think it isn’t my electric..?
When I was trying these methods I ran across something really strange…I noticed that when I walk towards the sub the hum gets louder the closer I get.
I’m all out of ideas, the sub cable I’m using came from monoprice and I believe it is shielded. I’m willing to try about anything EXCEPT ordering a cable from monster! :P
Any ideas?
