Does your APC40 Hum?
Just got a new APC40, and I’m hearing an annoying hum.
I’m super picky about gear. The noise isn’t crazy loud when when I’m setting up a set I can def hear it.
Is this normal?
I owned one, I can safely say it never made any humming noise. May wanna get a replacement before it turns into something else lol
I have one too and it definetly does not make a humming noise
LOL
how can something without a soundcard makes a hum? you better check your soundcard/speakers etc most likely it aint your APC
dude. Go out and stand next to your fridge. Does it hum?
Does your fridge have a soundcard?
Too late. I think that humming meant that it was growing appendages, it probably ate him.
That’s retarded reasoning. I use a battle mixer…and I don’t have cancer, holy crap, battle mixers prevent cancer. Call the news crews! Noble prize for Matt! Makes about as much sense.
Think about it this way. In an age where we argue over what sounds better, 128, 192, 320kbs, wouldn’t you freak if you plugged something into your multi-thousand dollar setup and got a weird hum. I would. Thus explaining her post
Maybe I should have rephrased my post. I was responding to DJ zilch
“how can something without a soundcard makes a hum?”
The argument was not against getting the apc checked out, op should, I was just pointing out that there was some shitty logic going on above me.
also, who hasnt dropped a grand or so on a fridge?
Right on dude, sorry I snapped at you.
I think along with the Midifighter shirts we should have have shirts that say “Battle Mixers Prevent Cancer”
No problem man. Also, I’d buy that shirt. hahaha.
Mine has a slight hum, but only if you put your ear next to it…
Cheers

I don’t mean to freak you out, but how do you know for sure that you don’t have cancer?
lol i thought he was talking about an audible humming noise from the speakers when he used the APC - if this was the case then its certainly not the APC at all maybe its either the soundcard or the speakers
I just figured that probably what he was trying to say is that the actual APC hardware itself generates an audible hum - yes? Then thats another thing hahaha sorry my bad 
u should probably bring it back to the store - last time my playstation (the old school old one) was making some weird noise it actually exploded (about 10 years ago) , not really exploded but sparks and smokes came out if it!
:eek:
If the hum is audible without putting your ear right up to the enclosure and no one elses does this it may pay to swap it for another.
Low level hum in electronics is pretty common, generally its the coils of the inductor in the switch mode power supply vibrating against each
yeah the hum is super low. and sometimes fades away after usage. It’s not audible hum, sorry for not making my post clear.
It’s a slight hum coming from where the power supply is connected. I think it’s just a common thing. My ears are super sharp so I picked it up right away.
if its from the power supply, thats your problem. Do you have the actual apc power supply, or are you using a knockoff? Regardless, Transformers have a lot of hum in them (like a fridge, or a computer).
Its similar to like, a flouro light getting turned on right?
How do you know you don’t have cancer? Maybe battle mixers make cancer invisible.
I have an APC40 and it’s definately not humming.
Mine hums until I open taktor then the noise stops!
mine makes a slight humming noise. but the room has to be silent for me to hear it, any noise will mask it very easily so its not a problem.
but i understand how you feel. it bothered the hell out of me too! i thought something was wrong with it.
