Noise/Hum
• Check the signal cable between the mixer and
the loudspeaker. Make sure all connections are
secure. These problems usually produce crackling
noises or hum.
• If you are using two or more TH-15A powered
loudspeakers, try plugging them all into the same
AC outlet panel or outlet strip. The purpose for
this is to connect them all to the same earth
ground point and reduce the possibility of creating
a ground loop.
• If connecting an unbalanced output to the TH-15A
balanced input, make sure the shield is connected
to the unbalanced ground and to pin 1 of the XLR.
