LegendBreath Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 Geez, I got an amplifier (well 2 of them) and each time someone in the house open the TV or the light, my speakers does a *PACK* in them... the amps are from some Altec Lansing ACS90 speakers... I took the board off and modified it a little bit, but it was doing that before i modified it.Someone knows why??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

audioguru Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 Did you use shielded audio cables for the amp's inputs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegendBreath Posted November 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 Did you use shielded audio cables for the amp's inputs?How do you do that? It's just a wire that I made my self, you know, 3 wires, plugged into my computer... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audioguru Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 Shielded audio cables usually have RCA plugs on their ends and are used for connecting all music sources to the imputs of audio amps to avoid noise pick-up by wires like yours.Usually the noise is hum from the mains wiring in the house. If anything turns on or off there is a click. If a light dimmer is used the noise will be a buzz.Use shielded audio cables! Cut-off the RCA plugs to make soldered connections or to use a different connector. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegendBreath Posted November 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 Ok... but what happens if my computer AND my amplifier has both some 3.5 input and output? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audioguru Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 3.5 what? Potatoes? Eat them. ;DIf both your computer AND amplifier have 3.5mm stereo connectors, then make or buy shielded audio cables with 3.5mm stereo plugs on the ends.If you don't use shieded audio cables to connect to an amplifier's input then ordinary wires will pickup all kinds of interference.

LegendBreath Posted November 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 Ok thanks :P And, with that part: "3.5 what? Potatoes? Eat them." you REALLY scared me :| My math teacher is always saying that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegendBreath Posted November 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2005 Errmm... strange, I just remarked that it's only when I'm listening music with Winamp, when I play a game, like Dance Dance Revolution for example ::) I do not hear those sounds... With Windows Media Player, I hear them, but they are not as loud as in Winamp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
