Noise coming from subwoofers and centre channel


Hi,

I have a noise/hum in my subwoofers and only one speaker, the center.

When listening music only, the noise is really low but when watching a movie with the projector and madvr processor, the noise become louder.

 

Someone have an idea, something common?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Good evening,

 

yes the cheater plug are on my list.

What i did tonight is to disconnect all my rack audio, a nightmare as i have many electronics…

I only have connected my 2 channel setup, front Dunlavy SC-4, 2 funk subwoofer, Mola Mola Tambacqui, antipodes K50 and finally Hegel H590.

For the moment, good news, complete silence, no hmm, no hiss. 

i will continue tomorrow, i will integrate my AVR, player, projector, processor one by one.

 

What do you think guys IFI gnd defender?

Thanks for all your comments.

I used to have a complicated multichannel rig and multiple stereo rigs all in one room (until i finished/managed to move all stereo gear to another room. It was indeed a nightmare looking behind multiple racks with heaps of sht, gear and cables everywhere.

I was going to suggest could it be the projector has another ground path??  Try turning it on without any video cables attached.

Hi,

Well, I have something new, I continued my tests. Here are my findings.

I opened all the devices of my 2 channel audio system (Tambacqui, K50 and Hegel H590 complete silence.

Then, I connected the Madvr Envy video processor and nothing complete silence

Then I integrated my Hegel C55 5 channel amplifier, I only connected the center. Still complete silence. Now I integrate the arcam AVR-30 receiver, we can hear a slight electrical noise in the center channel and a slight rumble in the subwoofers.

Finally,  there it is, I connect an HDMI cable between the processor and the receiver and an HDMI cable between the receiver and my Zappiti player, the noise is really louder in the subwoofers and the center channel.

So, I understand that my problem occurs when a signal goes through the HDMI, what do you think?

Should I try a cheater plug and connect the receiver?

Thanks.
