Thank you so much. It got almost perfect. I had RCA cables to my studio monitors before I moved to a new apartment. Worked great without ground in outlet. But In my new place everything is grounded, which is good. It was so noisy with rca in grounded outlet. Xrl to 6,3 balanced cable did the trick. Thanks again.

I bought new Balanced 1/4" TRS (audio interface) to XLR (monitor) cables for my ADAM T5Vs. COMPLETELY SOLVED THIS ISSUE FOR ME. Not a peep. Audio is bliss now. Thanks, Justin

Dude thank you! I've had this for ages (though *much* louder and more annoying), and I've been wondering how to fix it.

That’s the bloody noise I heard when I was setting up my equipment for a gig. Never happened to me before, but had to try and move the speakers around to minimise the electrical interference as much as possible. But all I ended up doing was changing to a different outlet, which solved the problem. Plus I was beside the electrical board for the lightning and microphone controls for the venue. Thanks for the advice.

bruh you're literally the best

Going to give this a try. I noticed mine has the ring. It's been bothering the shit out of me. Also the arson joke omg lol

Dude, THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! I feel so stupid for not knowing this was the answer. You just helped me SO much bro!

I'm so glad I came across this video. My issue was fixed by the beginning of 2nd minute. I was so frustrated with this annoying sound and I had no idea that my LED strip lights are the cause of it. I simply changed the USB port from the back of the computer to the front, and the noise just stopped. Seems I just had to reposition it.

THANK YOU!! I've been trying to figure out how to fix this for so long, turns out I just needed some balanced cables! You rock dude!

Haha! I had the static sound on and off for a year. I found the cable connected to my desktop and it was very taught with electrical wires hanging around it. I disconnected the cable, separated it from the others and let it hang loosely. Fixed the issue. Sounds so much better. I thought the problem was my speakers being faulty because they are old.

This was exactly the Problem I had This helped a lot! Thank you very much!! 👍🏼

Man you're awesome. This video helped a lot. Thanks

Thank you sooooooo much! You’re video helped me fix the static sound from the speaker that is hooked up to my TV in 5 minutes!!!👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾😃😃😃😃. I just took the 3 plug 🔌 out and put it in another outlet. It may not have been what your video was about, but it gave me the idea to do it. Otherwise I would not have known to do anything about the static.

I haven't checked yet if this happens to solve my personal issue - but thanks man! this video was informative and fun to watch 🤙

A nice vid, thanks Justin! A note though: balanced cables work optimally if you also have balanced OUTPUTS. Not all interfaces have them.

buying the three to two adapter cured my problem but that's the same as taking the middle plug out unless you ground the adapter.

No wonder you have a lot of subs. You saved my ears. Thanks bro

YOU LEGEND, solved my buzzing problem. Thank you so much!!!!

Jesus, man this fucking worked for me. I've had this sound coming out of my rokit's for literally years at different levels of tolerability. I cant believe I just needed different cables this entire time.

Took out the unbalanced rca cables and that worked! Thanks!

Like 4 years struggling with that terribly buzz... i thougt i have been using a balance wire but not at all. Thank you, you saved my life, after 4 years of suffering xD Respect!

I have static noise & popping sound on my pc speakers. How i fix that?

Brotha Thank you.. I got a 6.5" epsilon monitor and couldnt shake the feedback.. changed outlets from surge protector striaght to the wall outlet and INSTANTLY sounds 100x better! Mush Love

What if I use a 35mm to dual 1/4 cables. I can only find 35mm trs to dual 1/4 TS cables. Dies it matter where the ring is? Should it be on each cable tip?

tnx for great video . i'v a problem. When I change the orientation of my monitor the noise stops . How is it fixed and where is the problem?

Swapping to a different power socket from the wall fixed it for me, thanks a lot

Sweet! Glad it's as simple as that. Thanks buddy.

bro this took me so long to find. thank you

I've been waiting for this nobody has a good video showing the setup of this

Thanks. Much better. Only trouble for me was that I ordered a cable with female on the XLR end and had to send them back and get one that was male on both ends. I am using 1/4" on one end and XLR on the other. Perfectly quiet now though. Thanks again.

you made me very happy today. thank you.

Thanks bro you just gained yourself a like and subscription no more annoying sound do to your awesome video!

Awesome! Thanks for this, sorted my speaker issue 😎🤘🏻

It works, thank you. You helped me a lot.

this video is very informative thank you!

I can't hear yours because of all my noise

Blessings bro, I was about to buy an expensive USB noise shielder thing but all I needed were some balanced cables 😁

DUDE!!! You have literally saved my sanity with this video... I have tried every single thing I could to get rid of this noise while using a guitar lead... I mean, I have pulled my PC apart and put it back together, had my sockets rewired in my room, used different leads and cables, brought the PC to a repair shop, software upgrades, different PCs connected... It was as simple as this. Now I have no excuse for not recording other than laziness. I can't thank you enough. Let me know if you have a patreon or similar and I'll buy you a pint!

Cheers man Just ordered me cables now fingers crossed

I have just pulled my cable out to check what type of cable do I have, and then, when I put it back in, it fixed everything. How great is that?

Yo Ive been wondering this forever

Thanks dude. This was happening to me even with TRS cables and I thought I'd contracted tinnitus... I found the problem was in the XLR Mic cables.

In my case, here is a noise from LCD backlight and powersource and many impulse generators around(USB, HDD, buses). Turning backlight off and keeping laptop on battery pretty helps for a while. That all i must do because using DA-AD resampling conversion in realtime, two soundcards.

Thank You! TRS cables solved my problem completely. I only wish i saw your video before i shorted my soundcard, and my whole pc with instrument cables haha

i have the same problem but i don't know what to do!! i tried to buy a 6.3mm aux cable but it didn't work! do i need to buy an audio inteface?

Thank you for this video! I have been looking for this a lot. I just want to ask you if there is any difference between stereo jack cable and trs jack cable. Because they both have tip ring and sleeve.

i ALWAYS use the xlr port on the back of monitors because of this, and ive had a couple of audio friends with the same problem and I told them about using XLR and it fixed the noise for them too

awesome advice man! unplugged mine from the power strip and put them into a splitter and it cut the noises right out! Thanks Bro!!!!!!

Similar Identical....my new favorite phrase!

When it is used as a speaker cable, the signal goes through the tip and ring., and the shield acts as a grounding shield to protect against RF "inductance."

You're a God, thanks so much

Holy frick, dude, u saved my money! Thank You very much!

Thank you Justin

Cheers dude! Much appreciated.

Also check for lights with dimmer switches!! If that dimmer switch is on the same electrical group coming out of the main fuse box as your audio equipment it's almost a guarantee that dimmed lights will cause audio problems.

Thank you mate :) Very helpful !!

Hey 👋 I have same issue with nackie cr3x!! Any solution to this?!

thanks for the help mate

Thanks! Really helpful!

Something I forgot about! Good Video!

Thanks, double checked my cable and one of them was not insulated but the other was. Changed it out and problem gone, thanks man

I got JBL I have the same problem i use without interface or with interface I hear the buzzzzzzzzz squeeze where can i buy it ?

I'm having the same issue with or without balanced speaker cables.

Awesome mate, fixed my issues.

Dude you saved my life, thank you so much

Simple sometimes is the best! Thanks! Was freaking out about this sound on my new IK multimedia I loud MTMs $350 each and that noise. Bless you my son!!!!

from today you are my best friend :) the least I can do is to subscribe to your channel! thank you very much!

my dude, you just saved me from going crazy... just got a new pc and noticed this right away and has been driving me nuts, so I moved my pc tower away from the monitors thinking that would help but the noise was still there, so I turned my monitors volume ALL the way down on the back but still could hear that annoying noise, finally found your video and got some balanced TRS cables and the noise is gone!!! thank you man

Thank you so much. You helped me a lot.

I have the same issue atm, I guess it's just the fact that nothing is actually grounded and I have quite a lot of stuff plugged in the outlet, at least 15 devices or so. It is primarily caused by video devices such as pc videocard -> monitor etc. You can actually hear the mouse moving or when graphics is changing on screen. Balanced cables won't fix the problem. The only good way to solve it is to actually make sure everything is grounded properly and also prevent any ground loops as well. It does help to plug the monitor-speaker powercables as far away from other devices, maybe use a different outlet on the other end of the room for example, but this is not really an elegant solution :)

to this day it's not a common knowledge. thank you so much you saved my monitors! that noise was annoying :)

Hi, I have fixed two 3 watt 1 Ohms speakers, instead of two 5 watts 4 Ohms to my Bluetooth speaker and getting a loud enough hissing sound or noise. It is also present even when song is not playing. How can I fix this?

Thanks for the info! Is it still going to work if ai use a converter instead of a whole cable?

Thanks for the tips

I have a motu m2 running balanced quater inch cables, the motu m2 is plugged into a powered USB hub, everything is ran off a 1k UPS battery backup with sine wave output. I have tried every USB port on the computer, changed so many things around the buzzing is driving me crazy. Any other solutions you can reccomend me try?

Good video content bro. I inherited a pair of Alesia M1Active 520 studio monitors and it sounds like static going on in them. The mouse pulsates randomly and it’s annoying. Can I open the speaker case up and spray inside with a can of air?

Does anyone have a link so I can buy 1/4 jack TRS to RCA cables? My audio interface has red & white RCA inputs while the speakers have TRS. I can't seem to find this cable, only in a duo option but not singular.

I'm having the same issue. However, I do not want to use a patch cord. My new computer does not have a patch cord output. I'd rather use the RCA cable. Are you saying the only way to get rid of the static is to buy an interface and a balanced patch cord?

Thanks! I had one guitar and one trs plugged in...I tested them in isolation and the TRS was quiet and the guitar jack buzzed! I do think the video could have been a little shorter bro. You will get more people liking your awesome content. Short and sweet.

If anyone is wondering, some of those jagged sounds you can fix, but if you are annoyed by hiss in general, almost any class D amplifier will still have some even with high quality cables, a great sound card, and clean power.

you the best my dude!

Anyone that tried this and it didn't work try connecting the balanced TRS cable from your external audio card (outputs) to the mixer. This finally fixed my issue after 3 days of troubleshooting. Still using normal mono jacks from the mixer to the KRK speakers but that horid PC (processing from the CPU) noise has totally disappeared

HELLO , ONE QUESTION I HAVE THIS PROBLEM WITH KRK 10 3 G4 BUT WITHOWT THE CABLE ,THIS INTERFERANCE IS WITHOWT THE CABLE PLUG IN YOU CAN HELP ME WITH AN IDEA ?

I'm getting a pulsating sound ( maybe 60hz sound?) from using the headphone jack from my laptop into a reciever and out to speakers. The power plug on the receiver is only 2 prong but there's a Ground screw on the back of the reciever and when I connect that to a good ground it gets worse. Any help there?

This fixed my studio monitor problem. I feel silly that it was this simple. I'm upgrading my audio interface, mac and Logic all at the same time and missed such a simple variable. I guess my former audio interface either compensated for the noise or didn't even register it. Anyways, thanks for help and saving my time. KZfaq rules.

how long can u possibly take to get to the point

Much appreciated! 🔥🔥🔥

What if you use (balanced) XLR cables and get the same noise, and you don't have the ability to switch to another power supply?

YOU ARE THE MANNNNNN

thanks man! did it for me!

I have my tv connected with optical cable to a rca converter to my sterio only makes that noise when i want to watch a game on tv or regular tv i can listen to music just fine no noise on youtube only works on youtube all other apps sounds like that why what could it be??

Thanks Dude you solve my Problem :)

The noise is most like caused by "Ground Loop", that mean different devices are connected to different ground. Simply connect all the devices to a common ground will fix it. By the way, it makes not much difference for XLR & RCA if the distance of cables are not very long if the cables are properly shielded and grounded. If your output is not balanced , using balanced cable will not have any effects.

What should I do if my speakers dont have an input that says "Balanced". Where would I plug in a balanced cable? I have the Audioengine A2+ desktop speakers and seems only the right speaker buzzes.

i bought a pair of new Yamaha HS7 monitors, and they worked perfectly the first time i turned them on. went out of town for two weeks, turned them on, and got the same noise you hear in the beginning of your video. figured out that they were making noise even without any other cables being plugged into it(other than the power cord). tried multiple outlets too, and they all gave me the same results. i actually exchanged my HS7's for a new pair, and the new pair had the same problem. my theory is that someone in my building bought a new appliance, and that is what is giving me the interference. need to find a device that can help with this as moving out is not a option.

THANK YOU!

My laptop speakers were doing this last night at 3am and So I slept on the couch last night thanks for the fix

i rode the manual but there is written that my krk classic 5 can be connected only to grounded outlets
