Noise through speakers - TanToday - Helping Salon Owners, One At A Time, Since 2000!

This just started happening, About 1 minute into the session, I get a lot of noise through my speakers on the Magic. nothing extra should be turning on at this point in the beds time frames. Fans are fully on at about 40 seconds. it's almost like interference.

its running through the monitor.. go into settings and stop the radio in settings on the keypad of the monitor

EliteMike · 25th February 2008, 10:05 AM

well, I do want audio Jim. It seems related to the input, but this input feeds other beds and it's clean on there?

Din · 25th February 2008, 11:30 AM

humming noise? Like a wire is unplugged?

EliteMike · 25th February 2008, 11:58 AM

it more of a buzz, the sound is fine while its in standby and also for the first minute or so, that's what is really odd.

EliteMike · 25th February 2008, 11:58 AM

these are computer speakers so they are shielded

Yeah, it is random interference from the bed. I even eventually changed out the stereo's all-together and it will still do it from time to time.

I was almost thinking this....makes no sense. Almost makes me want to bypass the built in amp. I just like being able to adjust volume from the bed. I like hearing Holga too...

speaker wires running close to power wires will do this.

dust in the inputs.

EliteMike · 25th February 2008, 12:25 PM

even after it was running normally for a minute?

EliteMike · 25th February 2008, 01:05 PM

I dont' know what the heck it is, we finaly hid some wires yesterday, so I thought that was the culprit, put them all back into the clust F*** that it once was and it's the same thing. moved transformers around. The bed is definately causing this noise as it adjusts with the volume and goes away if i disconnect the input into the speakers.

Din · 25th February 2008, 01:08 PM

power wire running along side the audio wires will make a buzz/humming noise.

EliteMike · 25th February 2008, 01:30 PM

I might actually need a ground loop isolator the way I have this hooked up. I'm splitting my xm into 3 differnt places. to a receiver for overhead, an amp for the other beds, and to the magic. originaly the magic was on the amp that pushes the beds, but it was actulally too much power, only way around it was to lower the amp which lowers volume on other beds of course.

That just may be my issue, magic is creating some sort of feedback, no doubt about that. Magic is in use right now. I heard some weird sounds on the overhead that I never heard before.

if you didn't already check the audio settings (press audio button over and over) set the source to CD or NONE.

EliteMike · 26th February 2008, 09:58 PM

lol, slip thanks, but did you read the other posts?? It's an input problem

slip79 · 26th February 2008, 10:01 PM

aparently not

EliteMike · 27th February 2008, 03:11 PM

Put the magic on it's own amp, stopped some of the feedback, but there is still static, but it's possible it was always there just couldn't tell when the bed is running.

Natureboy · 28th February 2008, 11:17 PM

I want to record my own "Helga". Change it from time to time. Wish I could rig an digital voice recorder in there somehow.

EliteMike · 28th February 2008, 11:53 PM

if we all placed an order for a new chip, I think it would be affordable.

I like prosun's approach with this setup. THey use a micro sd chip that can easily be re-recorded on.

New KBL uses an SD card too.
