prevents ground loop antennae from forming and picking up AC hum. AC hum & noise is almost always caused by a loop antenna effect across signal lines between two or more pieces of gear, or by long unbalanced cables picking up noise. Loop antennae are basically a type of radio antenna, which tend to pick up the 60Hz and harmonics AC signal being broadcast by a buildings electrical current. These loop antennae are closed circuits usually along the ground wires and hence are commonly called ground loops.BalancedUnbalanced Unbalanced signals are more susceptible to picking up electrical noise & RF interference than balanced signals are. The longer the unbalanced cable, the greater the chance of a problem. The Hum Eliminator is one of the most cost effective ways to convert between unbalanced signals and true balanced signals.
