luvdunhill Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 He does -- it doesn't buzz when he unplugs them (impedance == infinity). read my suggestion more carefully Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swt61 Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 try unplugging one of the PCA-2's balanced outputs Marc whatever you were thinking was right, the buzzing stops when I unplug the subwoofers from the PCA-2's second pair of balanced outputs. What does this mean, and will I need to leave my subs unplugged until I want to listen to them? In any case that's far more simple for me.

Can you run an unbalanced output from the PCA-2 to the subwoofer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swt61 Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 Yes absolutely. The PCA-2 has 2 sets of SE outputs as well, and the subs have RCA inputs too. I'll get Scott to make me some SE ICs. Thanks for your help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll get Scott to make me some SE ICs. Thanks for your help! no problem! I'm assuming that the "yes" means you tried it and it worked, not that it has the outputs and you're going to buy some interconnects to see if it might work?

swt61 Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 Uhm no I haven't tried it. I don't have any SE ICs. But my buddy Scott will take it easy on me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But my buddy Scott will take it easy on me. well, perhaps I instilled too much confidence in you, young grasshopper. It's just a guess after all. you could also try taking that Y splitter that caused the problem in dallas (provided it's the right gender) and sticking both outputs off one jack.

swt61 Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 I just remembered I'm babysitting some long SE ICs for plaidplatypus. I hooked 'em up and the buzz returned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spritzer Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 I just remembered I'm babysitting some long SE ICs for plaidplatypus. I hooked 'em up and the buzz returned. Are the subwooffers grounded at the powercord and if so have you tried a cheater plug? If it is some form of a groundloop it might work.

swt61 Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 I tried the cheater plug on the speakers, but not on the subs. I'll try that later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
