Eliminates humming sounds due to electrical interference.

RELATED

A ground loop isolator is used to eliminate the buzzing sound made by a ground loop, which occurs when multiple pieces of sound equipment are connected to each other. These devices are both simple to operate and inexpensive.


Ground Loop
A ground loop occurs when a connection to ground is made through an interfering electrical conductor. When currents of above approximately 50 Hz flow through these multiple paths, noise occurs.
Use
An isolator prevents the noise by breaking the loop. It is connected by phono cables and positioned between audio connections, with installation only taking about two minutes. It is used in cars and home entertainment systems, and also by professional DJs. As no battery is used, it can be left as part of an audio system at all times.

thanks for the two replies.

so you would not plug / use it between a cd player and integrated amplifier then ?

( i noted it has rca plugs on it like an interconnect cable ).

Designed to connect between two pieces of audio
equipment that have ground loop residual noise.

sorry if i'm asking another (stupid) question but where would you use in in a dj set up ?

between a vinyl deck and the mixer ?
