Noise/Hum

•  Check the signal cable between the 

mixer and the loudspeaker. Make sure all 

connections are secure. These problems 

usually produce crackling noises or hum.

•  If you are using two or more TH-15A 

active loudspeakers, try plugging them all 

into the same AC outlet panel or outlet 

strip. The purpose for this is to connect 

them all to the same earth ground point 

and reduce the possibility of creating a 

ground loop.

•  If connecting an unbalanced output 

to the TH-15A balanced input, make 

sure the shield is connected to the 

unbalanced ground and to pin 1 of the 

XLR.
