I was fooling around with my setup the other night, when I realized one of the speakers has a very slight buzz or hum sound coming out of it besides the normal hiss one hears when you turn them on...It doesn't appear to get louder when I crank the volume. I switched electrical cords, switched outlets and played with the gain and EQ settings...to no avail...there is a definite buzz in one of the speakersShould i send it back or do you have the same thing in any of your speakers...Thanks Brian

Is this a defect in craftmanship with these EVsxa100 speakers. I've heard this before, hope not.

Bri,

I tweaked my set-up at my local K of C hall last week, and experienced no hum whatsoever in my 100's. Try a different location (not so much outlet, but different building). Don't think that should be happening, but see what Scott/UD have to say.

Hi Brian: Just the normal low hiss, but NO electrical buzz or hum at all coming from either of mine. As the problem is only apparent in one of your speakers, and assuming you've already eliminated any possibly of 60 cycle hum coming from your electrical outlet or ground problem possibilities, I recommend you contact the store you purchased it from and/or EV itself, to arranger for a repair or exchange. Good luck and keep us posted.

Donny: What specific craftsmanship issues have you heard about re: the EV Sxa100's?

Btw: Did you already sell your Barbetta PA System? I thought you loved it. Curious why you decided to get rid of it.

I have a Sam Ash 1 hour from my house...seeing I bought it from them, I'm going to lug it down there this weekend just to be safe...it can't hurt, and it may get me a new speaker...I'm trying to get a rep on the phone as I'm typing...I'll keep you all in the loop...Thanks Brian

Brian ,

By chance ....do you have everything plugged into one power strip ?
Sometimes a bad ground can cause a buzz or hum . dano

Not the same power strip, but the same receptacle in the wall...there's 4 plugs in one box...and the other speaker doesn't hum...I switched the plugs initially to see if a specific plug might be the culprit..but the speaker hummed using any of the 4 receptacles...so I'm pretrty confident it's in the speaker itself...Thanks though

Scott, I was refering to the HUM from the EVsxa100 speakers. I was thinking of upgrading, Barbetta has come out with a new model Sona 32SE which is fan cooled and lighter and more effiecient. A set of Evsxa100 is not out of the question either. www.barbetta.com

Donny,

I'm telling ya, they seem to be able to cut it. It was just my PSR2K plugged directly into them, so I'm assuming they would kick more through a mixer, but it more than covered the room. I was very impressed!
