Amplifier hums - you can do that

If your amplifier is buzzing, this can quickly become annoying. In this practical tip, we will show you what you can do about it.

Amplifier hums - what to do?

• First check all cables and plugs and make sure that all connections are properly seated.
• In some cases, hum can come from poorly insulated cables. Therefore replace the cable.
• Also make sure that devices such as microwaves or wireless telephones are not placed near the amplifier.
• Also make sure that the amplifier gets enough fresh air and that it does not get too hot.
• If the hum only occurs at a certain volume, this may also be due to a defective plug connection.
• You can also try plugging the amplifier into a separate outlet to remove the hum.
