Reel to Reel Tape Machines / Re: Otari MX5050 output hum

Thanks for your kind replys and help.

It is the same sound no matter where I place the machine in the house. Have to try that cheater plug maybe. Just haven't found such things to fit in Euro socket (I'm from Finland). Hopefully it's not anything to do with the components because I really don't know how to replace them and don't have the money to get it fixed by some professional.

Reel to Reel Tape Machines / Otari MX5050 output hum

« on: January 13, 2010, 06:43:55 AM »

Hi,

I'm new here so I'm sorry if I ask something stupid. I have used Otari MX5050 and I'm wondering if it is usual for these machines to produce some hum to output (both XLR outs and headphones) or do I have some problems with grounding or what? That sound is something like -55db and seems to be the same sound the motor makes but not that loud. I'd be very grateful for any help in how to get rid of that hum.
