bigsteve8 Posted October 13 Report Share Posted October 13 I just put together a new rig in my basement, ghetto starter up rig . . . using stanton st-100 as solo turntable. When the table is going, i hear lightly what's playing, very tinny, emanating from the needle/cartridge. I tried it with a different cartridge, same thing. . . any ideas?

mangledx Posted October 13 Report Share Posted October 13 are you talking about a a power whine?(spelling?)...a humming noise? You got to make sure you entire setup goes through the same outlet(mixer,tables,amp,efx box,etc)everything through the same outlet......usually you would use a surge protector... people that have home theater that run there componets to different plugs...even if its just one thing on the setup you will get a power hum...and if you are already doing this make sure the outlet you are using is actually grounded......I got rid of my power whine this way.....also make sure your wires are in good shape....I dont even know if this is what you are talking about......but ..oh well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teknojunkee Posted October 14 Report Share Posted October 14 Im pretty sure hes talking about when you put the needle on the record you can faintly hear the song playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattm2o Posted October 14 Report Share Posted October 14 1. Make Sure You have the Turntable Wire Ground the third wire coming from the turntable, thats the ground wire make sure that it is connected to the ground port of the mixer or make sure it is attached to a piece of metal not connected to the turntable.2. (And I think this is the problem) Just make sure you have the turntable input going into a "Phono Line" and not a "Line Input" if your mixer has a selector swich for the inputs (as most do) make sure that you select Phono 1, Phono 2, or in some cases Phono 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zeeker Posted October 16 Report Share Posted October 16 I'm almost positive he means the sound is coming directly from the tip of the needle touching the record. That's supposed to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rudeboyyouth Posted October 17 Report Share Posted October 17 Usually you're supposed to hear a faint sound of the music from the needle. Sounds pretty normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
