Here is a video with sound so everyone can see what I am up against. There has always been a bit of a high-pitched noise from my monitors, but just recently it has increased exponentially (in both monitors).
This happens every time I power on my VXT-6 studio monitors. I have tried a number of remedies that haven't worked:
1. Changed power cord
2. Plugged into different outlets in my house
3. Unplugged other electronics that would cause interference
First off, I can't tell if this is noise is actually ground loop feedback, radio frequency interference, or electromagnetic interference. However, since it seems to go away when plugged in at a friend's house, I can only assume that it's a problem with a ground loop? From my understanding ground loops typically have a low-pitched hum, rather than a high pitched whine like this.
What gives me hope is that these have sounded great in other people's houses, and so I am aware that this is most likely specific to my electrical system. I am considering purchasing a Tripp Lite ISOBAR for surge protection as well as possible power conditioning. If anyone has any experience with these as far as in a studio environment I would like to hear about it.
If anyone can offer any suggestions regarding this, I would really appreciate it!
