Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Technical Questions EP600 / Please Explain Grounding - Again

Ajax is correct, and so is Mojo. Unplugging the video processor power with the sub on creates a low-frequency transient on the AC house wiring, which the EP600 reproduces.

I'd also suspect the filtering on those wall-wart power supplies, which typically are poorly filtered or shielded.

Of course we all get lazy about turning components off before we connect or disconnect any part of a system. But Jack's lesson learned many years ago is excellent. Turn everything off first.

The only thing you can do about a low frequency disturbance is use an active power centre which I think is an absolute waste of money for a problem like this.

I use a Belkin Power conditioner for all the rack components, including the Video Processor.



I’m in the middle of a project and will do some more testing later and report back.

Middle of a project = sipping beer.

Hey Mike nice rack!

Mikey does have a nice rack

That remote is so hot, it has an aura.

Speaking of making sure things are disconnected first. Last week I was putting a new collar on my dog's invisible fencing collar (a must so he doesn't sicken himself at his sea side buffet on the shore.)

I told my wife I was just going to go crank the signal gain on the transmitter later to test it because I was too lazy to go out in the cold. She thought it would be funnier if she did it right away while I was still working on screwing in the leads through the collar material.

Lesson learned = remove the battery next time. She must have really cranked it up because it totally skipped the warning beep that occurs when he gets close to the perimeter.

Now I can sip a beer. I was building a cabinet for my wine coolers.

Mike, can you please adopt me ?
