FAQs

What is a ground loop?

A ground loop occurs when two or more devices in an audio system have different ground potentials, leading to noise.

How does this isolator work?

It uses isolation transformers to break the ground loop and filter out the noise.

Where should I place the isolator in my setup?

Place it between the two devices experiencing the ground loop hum.

Does this isolator affect sound quality?

It may slightly reduce the signal strength but is designed to minimize the impact on audio quality.

What if the hum doesn't go away?

The ground loop may be coming from another device in your setup. Check each connection and component.

Can I use this with balanced audio connections?

No, this device is designed for unbalanced 3.5mm connections only.
