Fizzy sound from the speaker/amplifier

Dr House -

Hello,

I have a sound system setup (for a restaurant) with 2 amplifiers. One manages a set of low-power speakers, and the other, much older, manages 4 speakers.
The first amplifier is connected to the second one. The latter is connected to the mixing desk. It's with this desk that the overall volume is adjusted.
My problem is the following: At low volume (both cold and warm), we hear crackling/electrical noises ("bzzzzzzzz"). When the amplifier that manages the low-power speakers is turned off, we hear nothing. I opened the housing to remove dust, but that didn't change anything.

At the back of this amplifier, two wires (seemingly standard) for the speakers connect to two different "terminals": "com" and "100v".

Thank you for your help.

Good evening,

Your problem could stem from many things; here are a few possible issues:

- Is the connection between your two amplifiers correct? The simplest way to avoid mistakes and reduce the risk of damage is to connect your amplifiers directly to the output of the mixing console using a suitable cable or a splitter (this way you avoid creating a bridge between the two amplifiers).

- There may indeed be a problem with the connections of the "com" and "100V" terminals. The easiest thing for you to do is to consult the amplifier's manual (of course, if you no longer have it, it's probably available online ;).

- If you are using a laptop, it is also possible that the "noise" comes from it; its power supply voltage is different and produces a frequency that creates this noise... to check, run it on battery ;)

These are the possible issues I see for now. I remain at your disposal, and if the problem persists, please send me the references of the amplifiers.

See you soon

Hello, it's very simple, I'm an electrician and I did some tests with my laptop because I had the same problem, and I realized, while messing around with an extension cord, that all it takes is to remove the ground from the plug (for those who don't know, it's the pin at the very top).

And there you have it, problem solved!!
