Stop the hum in your home stereo speakers!
Xitel's Ground Loop Isolator is suitable for stopping hum from all
audio equipment and computers connecting to amplifiers, receivers
and stereo systems. Built from premium components for maximum audio
fidelity and superior performance.
* Where does the hum come from?
Ever wondered why your speakers hum when you connect certain devices to
your home stereo? The most likely cause of humming is due to a ground
loop in your home or apartment mains power wiring. A ground loop occurs
through differences in resistance in the electrical system. When you
connect your computer or audio component to your stereo, a path is
provided for electricity to flow from one wall socket to another as the
electrical system tries to balance itself. This causes your speakers to
hum.
* How does a ground loop isolator work?
Xitel's ground loop isolator has been fully designed, built and tested
to exacting standards for high fidelity audio applications. It works by
breaking the earth between your computer or audio components and stereo
so there's no path for current from an electrical imbalance to flow.
This prevents your speakers from humming! It's a simple and effective
way of eliminating ground loop issues without having to resort to
contracting an electrician to rewire your house.
* How do I install a ground loop isolator?
Turn the power of your computer or audio component and home stereo
system off. Plug the cable end of the ground loop isolator marked stereo
directly into your stereo RCA input. Plug the RCA cable running from
your computer or audio component into the RCA connectors on the ground
loop isolator marked input.
That's all there is to it! Not only does it get rid of the hum, it also
fully preserves the content of your high fidelity audio!
