oldmako Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Can anyone recommend a quality surge protector that will also minimize ground loop hum? Most seem geared to PC setups as opposed to sound systems. Thanks in advance for any replies. Inquiring minds want to know.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 To simply ground an audio system, you should use a three-prong surge protector, with electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency (RF) filtering, then plug all of the front-end components into it, without any cheater plugs. I would look for the most Joules for the least money – that will give you the most economical power line surge protection. Cheap surge protectors use MOV's (metal oxide varistors) which DO wear out over time and cost less than 25 cents each. Much better models use series mode mode protection. (Brickwall, Surge-X, Furman, Adcom, Zerosurge). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
