You need to edit the other video because many people won't see this one. Good video. I was an electronics tech for several years and have been an audiophile for the last 30. Grounding issues are not uncommon. Outlaw seems to have an excellent design. I prefer when chassis are grounded as it makes the whole appliance like a Faraday Cage and reduces outside interference. Ideally everything would be grounded and shielded in the whole signal path!

@TechnoDad 2 года назад

Yup! That can happen. I use a ground lift to eliminate hum as well.

@ealanosborne 2 года назад

Yeah, man! Live and learn! 😄

@paulhurt839 9 месяцев назад

Be very careful with ground lifts. Understand what you’re doing. If a piece of equipment has a mains earth connection, it probably has it for safety reasons, so think very carefully before disconnecting it. Lifting the shield connection at one end of a signal cable can also work to eliminate hum, without compromising your safety, but it very much depends… And that’s the problem with earth loops, it’s rarely clear what the solution will be… there may not even be a solution. Maybe there should be more balancing transformers sold as accessories.

@Squishmallows24 11 месяцев назад

This was actually driving me crazy when I got my outlaw 5000x. I’m not expert so after hours and hours and hours of reading online I finally came across someone saying just use speaker wire to connect one end to the outlaw and the other end to receiver hum was gone lol

@ealanosborne 11 месяцев назад

Yeah! Easy peasy! 😁

@Chris-hr2uj 2 года назад

Nice follow up, dont worry about error, we've all been there in our professions. Ive always gotten a ton of helpful info from your channel. You were quick to set the record straight. Learn something new every day. I had hum on my old stereo with an rca connection at one point and now i know how i could have gotten rid of it.

@dbascur2 Год назад

excellent video! This has to be one of the most informative autio/videos troubleshooting 101 videos ive seen on youtube.

@ealanosborne Год назад

Thanks, David! 😁🤘

@whatever_12 Год назад

A tip i got when hearing humm noise is to disconnect every input 1 by 1 until you find out what's causing it.. even the source (bluray players etc) from your hdmi to your receiver can cause it.. This is pretty frequent in uk

@MultiDragola Год назад

Helps if you get a power filter like panamax, my hun went away with that power distribution unit.

@ashikhan244 2 года назад

Thank you for this!! I was turned off to outlaw, after seeing your last video. Outlaw is now back in the contention of me picking them and my amps. This let me know I they have put a fair amount of engineering and thought into there products. I appreciate that! Thanks again!

@michaelreilly4920 2 года назад

Hums, can come from just about anything in the chain. I drove my self crazy with my Parasound amp at the time. My hum was coming from my cable TV coax cable. I used a Jensen transformer on the cable line and that eliminated the hum. This happens on Parasound and my Outlaw 7000x..The 7000x is a great amp dead silent with the transformer on the cable line. This amp cannot be beat in this price range. It performs as well as my Parasound A23, if not even better. A23 is a two channel for about the same cost as the 7000x, I was very surprised how it compared.

@joentell 2 года назад

@kevinusta7534 Год назад

It took me a while to figure out, but mine was caused by my ISP rg6 cable. Plugged that cable into my Furman power conditioner/filter before the Comcast router. Clean as a whistle now.

@1Aquadon Год назад

Thanks Elan!

@boveejg Год назад

This was a good video. One thing I wish you had done at the end would have been to test to see if the same red wire had any effect for the minor noise from the Marantz connected to the right speaker. It was nearly inaudible but testing it out would have been interesting.

@htenthusiast2897 2 года назад

Outlaw is great, I love my 7000X and being connected to a Denon receiver sounds exactly like your Marantz, or a no issue to me. I really wish they would expand their line with a 3 and maybe a 2 channel as more people get into Pre-Pros. Great follow up!

@tainle Год назад

do you have a humming sounds like found in this video with your denon avr? i got a x6500h denon, so wondering if i should get the outlaw 7000x.

@htenthusiast2897 Год назад

@@tainle no humming sound on my HT. The sound is clean and powerful, thanks to the amp. Made dancing night several times with very loud music and it’s as smooth as it gets. The Outlaw has incredible power and never gets hot. Comparably have an older 120W Denon receiver in another room and when playing loud music would overheat and shut down or drop the volume. Put your receiver in energy saving if it doesn’t have the pre amp decoupling.

@gaurd3 Год назад

Wasn’t just your video. It was the inter webs as well with the same user error. Glad you set the record straight.

@ealanosborne Год назад

Me too! I felt it was my moral obligation, since it's a kickass amp. :)

@GTGrabber Год назад

I have to try this with my minidsp. Ever since adding it for my subwoofers, Ive had a hum.

@ealanosborne Год назад

Yes. Definitely something to try. Pretty simple fix, if indeed it works for you. 🤘

@elmerbais Год назад

I bought ground loop and attached it to the end of the comcast cable going to my AVR , that solve my humming sounds. (Old house) New house no problem at all, no need to use my ground loop.

@ealanosborne Год назад

Exactly. You never know what your house might introduce into an audio signal. 👍

@panamalee 6 месяцев назад

It's pretty much what we do in Car Audio Installs when we get a ground loop.

@user-nw8zq2oq1z Год назад

I wonder if the difference with your preamp vs the marantz was that the preamp might have a stronger preout voltage vs. the marantz. All things being equaul you might have heard the same amount of ground noise

@fredrikfoughman5313 Год назад

this amp looks like a great deal, du you know if will work in EU with 220-240 V 50 Hz?

@ronpa9080 2 года назад

Thanks Elan for finding the solution But I have a different issue I have outlaw 7500 It has huge white noise without any input provided The white noise only goes down with XLR s connected to a prepro And one channel has more white noise than the rest How can I fix it In general I have more white noise on this amp when compared to my other amp

@ealanosborne 2 года назад

Oh goodness, I’m not sure about that. If you have Instagram, try DM-ing Outlaw Audio (@outlawaudiollc), since that’s the quickest way I got through to them. That or email their support team. I wish I could help more! 🤘

@peteroussa Год назад

hi can i connect my windows pc to sr8015 signal gnr because while i'm playing a game there's buzz on my speaker or only from amplifier to avr and can i do the same connecting amplifier xpa 11 gen 3 to avr sr8015 or not

@paulhurt839 9 месяцев назад

And THIS is why pro-audio systems use balanced connections. It’s not just the noise-rejection you gain from balanced audio connections, it’s the fact that the audio signal and chassis earth are separate things and never touch or even reference each other. You can connect balanced audio systems with a stack of devices and hundreds of XLR cables running every which way between them and almost never encounter even the slightest ground loop issue. Whereas with unbalanced equipment, some of it having a ground-bonded chassis, and some that leave the chassis floating, some RCA connectors connecting chassis ground to audio ground, and some not… it’s a lottery. There are unbalanced designs that help mitigate possible ground loops, and you hear plenty of fully unbalanced systems with not a hint of buzz or hum… but sometimes something comes along that upsets the whole apple cart, and it can be almost impossible to fix. But it would be a start if all subwoofer inputs and outputs used proper balanced connections at least. That would solve 85% of the issues. That’s the one development I’d most like to see on mid and high-end AV receivers, and it would cost almost nothing. Glad you found a fix. And I don’t think you’ve been dumb at all, you just got bitten by the limitations of the system.

@tainle Год назад

u gave the denon x6500h, it have a grnd connector on the back. I tried this trick with my emotiva bas x7 power amps but it would not solve the 60hz hum very low not loud as yours, maybe it is loud as the marantz you have. any other tips?

@scottwrezenski2356 Год назад

I love my outlaw but I don't use a ground never had no problem

@rayking507 2 года назад

Hi there, did you feel that grounding the Iota improved the sound quality in anyway for example maybe a little bit more clarity etc.

@ealanosborne 2 года назад

No. The IOTA's audio processing is great, so it just removed the buzz, allowing me to hear what the AVX17 is actually capable of. :) Using XLR cables has no buzz whatsoever, so grounding to the chassis, it was suddenly on par with XLR quality, which was such a relief!

@kenshinesca 2 года назад

Would be nice if all amps had that grounding pin just to make things easier.

@ealanosborne 2 года назад

I know, right? It’s a great fail safe🤘

@TheUsmc0802 2 года назад

You can always just use one of the chassis screws to ground. It’s nice if there is a dedicated pin but all you need is wire to a metal screw to the chassis.

@wayneiceman 2 года назад

Nice job Ealan. How would I find the ground on my Rotel RMB1066? It doesn't have a ground pin and has no ground ac implying double insulated? If so, how could I ground it to my denon 3700?

@ealanosborne 2 года назад

Hmmm…You can always ground by unscrewing a screw on the rear portion of the Rotel chassis, wrapping a copper wire around the screw, tightening the screw again, and connecting the other end in the same fashion on the Denon. Or connected to the signal ground near the phono input on the Denon. I think… 😄

@wayneiceman 2 года назад

@@ealanosborne haha good thinking. Thanks bud

@tiyo1758 2 года назад

I have the marantz 7015 as well with the emotiva xpa 7 channel gen3. No hum. HOWEVER, I did have one nasty hum though, and narrowed it down to the trigger cable going to my SVS subwoofer from the Marantz. How do you get rid of that?

@ealanosborne 2 года назад

Yikes, great question. I’d be so bold to just contact SVS directly. They’re incredibly responsive to support issues like that. 👍

@tiyo1758 2 года назад

DUH!!! Why didn’t I think of that? That’s why you are DA-MAN!!!

@aaronrojas5399 10 месяцев назад

Hi Elan, so are you able to put both a turntable and amp ground wires under the same turntable ground on the avr? Or separate them? One under a chassis screw and the turntable by itself under its own ground? Thanks ahead of time.

@ealanosborne 10 месяцев назад

According to some forum posts, you need to keep multiple grounding wires separate. So you could connect the turntable to the turntable grounding pin on the AVR, and the amp grounding wire to the AVR chassis, for example.

@aaronrojas5399 10 месяцев назад

@ealanosborne Awesome. Thank you Elan. I'm taking this advice.👍👍👍

@diydan6045 9 месяцев назад

Newbie here, does anybody know if OSD is the same build?

@psyphonyxaudio 2 года назад

Nice solution for the buzzing .. but the amp itself still has a Hiss audible in all exampls ..even on camera. .. reason?

@ealanosborne 2 года назад

As far as I know, all speakers create a hiss to some degree when they’re ready for a signal, and if you have your ear right next to the tweeter. But I’ll be doing more tests in the upcoming weeks to see if that’s true or not. During those tests on camera, the boom mic was literally millimeters away from the tweeter.

@psyphonyxaudio 2 года назад

@@ealanosborne ...Understandable at Millimeters away.. yes. 🙏👍🏻.. Specs Matter.

@djlive86 Год назад

So just to recap, send a wire to both the avr and amp correct? Or just 1 or the other

@ealanosborne Год назад

Yeah, a wire connects both the AVR and amp to each other, essentially grounding them both 👍

@djlive86 Год назад

Thank You

@dadevastator24_77 Год назад

How many amp can be grounded on a chasi?

@ealanosborne Год назад

I guess at least as many trigger outputs the preamp or AVR has

@damianjackson5055 2 года назад

Ealan I would get a separate Avenue processor with some XLR cables to get rid of that humming and hissing noise from your system. Also I would recommend some audiophile true power cables to get your stuff some good clean power.

@dave2094 Год назад

I have the Denon x4700h and am looking to get amps for my speakers and use my Denon as a processor. If I get two of these amps, can both amps connect to the same ground screw on the Denon? Or would I have to ground each amp to a separate metal screw on the chassis of the Denon to eliminate the humming?

@ealanosborne Год назад

I’m honestly not sure. But, in theory, grounding is such a basic/simple process of just making sure electrons are flowing to a grounded source, I would think grounding two amps to one screw shouldn’t be a problem. 🤘

@joshuajordan8574 Год назад

You can stack wires on grounding posts. As long as the connections are good, and you tighten down the ground screw firmly, it should not matter.

@paulhurt839 9 месяцев назад

In fact, connecting both to the same grounding terminal would in fact (theoretically at least) be better. It makes a very simple kind of star-earth connection. It’s all a bit of a kludge ultimately, but if it works and is safe (which this is) then it’s all good.
