John Michael Posted May 18, 2002 Share Posted May 18, 2002 Hey all! I am about 3 weeks into my first system Rotel RMB 1095 amp Rotel RSP 1066 Processor Monster HTS5100 Power center Sony dvpns700p dvd player Klipsch RF7 Klipsch RC7 Klipsch RSW7 no sub yet.My Problem is when I turn my system on I hear a humm in all 5 speakers.You have to put your ear to the speaker to hear it.(am I to paranoid) When I sit in my chair listening to 2 channel the buzz from the rear speakers is noticeable.I did put in a cheater plug which helped the humm a little. I just want to know if the humm is normal or is there something else to try? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USparc Posted May 19, 2002 Share Posted May 19, 2002 I know someone who had similar problems. He had also the Rotel RMB 1095. Even when everything was unplugged , except the speakers the humm was still present (As in your case when listening in 2 channel the rears are disconnected(in RSP 1066) except the Rotel RMB-1095). He went back to the dealer with it. They connect the RMB 1095 and also humm but it was a lot less. His dealer had another RMB 1095 with totaly no humm. According to the dealer it was "a kind of a revised one". He tried it at home ... Still humm but a lot less. I think some RMB 1095 are sensitive to the quality of the mains supply. ------------------ ------------------------- Receiver: Pioneer VSX-909RDS DVD: Pioneer DV-525 Screen: Thomson 46" RetroProjection Front: RF-3 tFTP Rear: RF-3 tFTP Center: RC-3 tFTP SubW: KSW-12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boa12 Posted May 19, 2002 Share Posted May 19, 2002 yea either as us says or you could have a ground loop w/ your electrical system. usually it's because cable tv is attached to the processor in some way. if you do a search for "ground loop" from the main page here there is much info on trouble-shooting & fixes. ------------------ My Home Systems Page Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilH Posted May 20, 2002 Share Posted May 20, 2002 John Michael: Sorry for the RF-7 foot problem. Make sure if you move them again you do not tilt them sideways putting all the weight of the speaker on one or two feet. I've moved several of them around in training and have not damaged one yet by following that rule. You can call 1-800-KLIPSCH for replacement feet.
