meagain Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 ???? Preamp has 4 Aux options... Aux 4: CDP Aux 3: Behringer deq2496 (turned off) Aux 2: DVD player (was testing between 2). Aux 3: Nothing With preamp on and HT bypass OFF....... Aux 4: Plays CDP as it should. Aux 3: Plays same CDP despite Behringer unit turned fully OFF. WHY???????????? Aux 2: Plays DVD sound With preamp turned OFF completely but left on HT bypass....... If I turn up my AVR high, I hear the TV sound bleeding through. LOL Is this odd or is it me? Why would I hear the CDP thru Aux 3 when the Behringer is turned off? Why would my TV sound bleed through the amps when my pre is physically turned off? I've posted about this back in April or so when I somehow got it in my head.... a fear of signal bleed through having some effect on my sound. Anyone see anything wrong with the above?

DrWho Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 Sounds like something is hooked up incorrectly...is the CDP clear as day through Aux 3? or is it much quieter and muffled sounding? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meagain Posted February 9, 2007 Author Share Posted February 9, 2007 Yea - clear. Flip back and forth between Aux 3 & 4 sounds the same. This confuses me cuz the unit on Aux 3 is turned off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lisa I'm assuming that you have the CDP output "Y" connected to the AUX 4 Input and the Behringer and if so My guess (since I haven't tried it) is that when the Behringer is powered down the unit must bypass the input signal to the output. I know the behringer does have a hard bypass option(relay) so maybe the relay is in that position when the behringer is powered down. mike tn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meagain Posted February 9, 2007 Author Share Posted February 9, 2007 The CDP has 2 cords running to Aux 4 on the pre. The Behringer has 2 cords running to Aux 3 on the pre. The CDP has 2 cords running to the Behringer. LOL! I have to look at this again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meagain Posted February 9, 2007 Author Share Posted February 9, 2007 The HT Input has my AVR in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meagain Posted February 9, 2007 Author Share Posted February 9, 2007 Pass through on the Behringer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScorpsFan Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 Pass through, bypass, etc. allows input signal (sound from inputed device) to continue through without any processing when device is off or set to this mode. Looks like you might want to check and see if there is a switch to turn off to stop this "problem". You need to "break the connection" either by turning off the pass through switch or using an alternate wiring method or inserting a "breaker box" which cuts the output of your CDP to the Behrenger before it gets to the pre-amp. In essence, it's like leaving a light switch on with no bulb in the socket, "We all know we shouldn't stick our finger in the socket" because there is still electricity going through it. Same principle here, even though the Behringer is off (bulb out of the socket), you still have a signal (switched on electricity) going through the wiring you have hooked up to it, and in this case, you hear the sound (i.e.screaming out in pain) because you have your pass through either actively or passively (finger stuck into) open to the pre-amp (the socket). Best of luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3dzapper Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 I attribute it to capacitive and/or inductive conduction in the traces along the side of the preamp. With high gain and ultra sensitive speakers it is not unusual. Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
