Ground loops occur when multiple A/V components are powered from different outlets, most commonly outlets that are tied to different circuit breakers or even a different secondary from the power transformer. Ground loops manifest themselves in the form of hum bars called herringbone (diagonal lines on the screen) and AC beat (a wide, barely visible bar that rolls from the bottom to top of the screen). Often you can hear the ground loop as the noise on the video encroaches on the audio signal.
Composite Hum Eliminator Features:
- Eliminate video noise caused by ground loops
- Also available for component video applications
- Easy connection using standard video cables
Please note that while these transformers are designed to eliminate ground loops, isolating the source of the ground loop can be very difficult even for professional technicians. We recommend exercising patience while you work through test scenarios to eliminate your ground loop. While sometimes the problem is at the last component added or the furthest from the main system, these might only be symptoms of a harder to solve problem.
