Nymphes hum/buzz at max volume?
<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>I recently bought myself a Dreadbox Nymphes as my first synthesizer, and I’ve really enjoyed it so far. I’m still a beginner, so this might be a silly question (although I have yet to find an answer through lots of googling and experimenting):</p> <p>I have noticed that there is an audible hum/buzz when the volume is turned to maximum. This occurs both through headphones and when I plug the synthesizer into my audio interface and record through ableton. After some research, I considered that it might be a ground loop (I live in a very old apartment building). However, after taking it outside and powering it with a USB power bank, the hum still persisted. </p> <p>Is it normal for the Nymphes to hum like this? What are some things that might be wrong here? How do you avoid picking up that buzz/hum when you are recording through an interface? Thanks for all the help!</p> <p>Edit: The hum can also be faintly heard at lower volumes, but it is most obvious at higher volumes.</p> </div><!-- SC_ON --> submitted by <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/bearkneesoup"> /u/bearkneesoup </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/synthesizers/comments/zvf7ll/nymphes_humbuzz_at_max_volume/">[link]</a></span> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/synthesizers/comments/zvf7ll/nymphes_humbuzz_at_max_volume/">[comments]</a></span>
