Problem with A16

Hi,

If your mixer is near a CRT you will get a good amount of noise particularly if its a old one. If you cannot find a solution to remove the noise ... add a noise gate with a -40dB threshold.

Cheers

maybe DC adapter helps? =)

is the noise from the box, from the mixer, is the mixer connected to the box, what else is connected, what do you intend ?
your short sentences are interesting to read, but difficult to answer

cheers, Tom

nooo no psysycal mixer
it was just a comparison.
Only Box connected to Creamware scope by Z-link.
So i have news - my friend with A16 also - got a crystal sound with no noise...But he connected it via ADAT.NOt via Z-link like me.Maybe z-link option is sux? SO now im goonna get some optical cables.Will post test later.

maybe a grounding problem? ah, and 80% of quality and noise problems are related to cable problems. thats why i love scope routing

nope there is no any cables - only a box.

So...A16 connected via ADAT to Scope - makes same noise as via Z-link.So z-link plate is ok - i connect RME ADAT to Scope - crystall sound no noise.Looks the A16 box is defective.

and how is your A16 connect to the pci-card, wireless or what?

last you could do is to test with your friends a16. then you could say it's the a16...

and don't forget to try a different fw cable. z-link should be very good.

Have you set the scope board to clock master?
I had very strange noises on z-link once when scope was slave to spdif. In the manual it says, when using z-link scope must always be master.

guys please read carefuly above.
Noise stable as in the case of Z-link as in the case of ADAT connection so its a hardly cables or grounds problem..And sure Scope is in master mode.
