Members duck995 Posted March 5, 2013 Members Share Posted March 5, 2013 I use the aux sends on my Mixwizard for monitor sends. Normally I just have one mix. I get a lot of noise out of my powered monitors. Powered mains (using same power source as monitors) are clean and quiet.If I switch speakers (connect mains to snake monitor feed and and monitors to the snake main feed) the speakers first connected to the monitor feed become quiet as house speakers, and the house speakers now connected as monitors become noisy.Lifting the electrical ground on the noisy speakers significantly reduces the noise. All speakers from JBL PRX600 seriesMonitors are 612m and 615m This is how I connect with monitors on the stage:from mixer - TRS male to XLRm (cable) to snakestage end of snake - XLRm to XLRf (cable to monitor #1)XLR cable from monitor #1 xlr out to monitor #2 xlr in It seems to me that there is something in the connectors and/or cable/snake combination. I have 2 MixWizards and the problem exists on both.Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Crownman Posted March 5, 2013 Members Share Posted March 5, 2013 Take the snake out of the equation and plug straight from the board into the speaker and see if you still have an issue. Since it happens on both boards it's got to be a cabling issue. Are any of the cables real super cheapo cables? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members agedhorse Posted March 5, 2013 Members Share Posted March 5, 2013 Check to be sure that the shell and pin 1 are not bonded together inside any of the XLR connectors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
