since i brought my new studio monitors ive had terrible static in them.hissing etc.i was told by m-audio that its a ground loop problem and to take all periferals out of pc and put them all back and try and find out where the problem is coming from.ive done this and guess what they are still hissing !!

i was told this isolator by xitel will do the job?any views on this would be appreciated.cheers guys.

if possible post a sound sample of the noise somewhere.
As the noise could be from many factors and usually different problems have a typical noise signature.

like ground noise, em interference, white noise .
Ideally the noise if any allowed should only be white noise Hi-fi hiss, anything other than that is a problem.

There are many types of noise reducers in market like isoloators or 1:1 OT's , power conditioners , line drivers, ferrite cores etc. but no one can tell what will work unless the exact noise source is found.

Glad you got it worked out Riffer..

Any ideas anyone on reducing the em noise on coil splitted humbee (single coil op'n), noise gates do work somebit but kill a lot of stuff with em.
