I run my TD10 & DTXpress into a BBE and then into one JBLG2 (about 5 ft away from BBE). Will a DI box help me? I do notice a great deal of buzzing. Will a couple DI box help elimnate this. BTW, JBL has one XLR and two 1/4" inputs.

I am assuming that you are running 1/4" cables throughout. You didn't mention your model of BBE, but unless you have the 882 (I think I am right here), you MUST use 1/4" or RCA adapters, no balanced input/outputs.
So, I don't think a direct box will help.
I would check for ground issues. Try plugging everything into the same power strip, and make 100% sure that it is grounded properly and that the circuit you are connecting to is also grounded properly.
If this doesn't fix it, then there are other issues we can address, but let's try this one first.- Hans -
Re: DI Boxes?
Hmasing is correct on the BBE unbalanced in's. Frankly, unless you are using very long cords or are working around some serious electrical interference, you really shouldn't be gettin this hum. Hmasing give good advice here. Also make your cables from the TD10 to the BBE as short as possible. The distance you call out is short enough that under normal circumstances you shouldn't be getting the noise you mention. This assumes you aren't using 25 ft cords to connect your equipment.Originally posted by Jackmastersiii

It just occured to me. You should also check what electrical appliances and lights are in use when you have this problem. My wife has a 500 watt quartz light 2 floors above my drums. When she turns it on, I get the buzz. Lights with dimmer switches could do this also.Comment

I don't remember who it was... maybe the 'most excellent search tool' could help... but I DO remember reading a few posts on here where folks mentioned doing something with their power supply on their TD10 to eliminate hum/buzz. As I recall this was a situation typical to the TD10. (?)Comment

Other than with the quartz light deal I mentioned, mine has been as quite as a Church mouse. And I was using 25 ft cable lengths for quite awhile. My Church has V-pro's and a two friends do as well. No noise problems there. I realize that's only a sample of 4, but I'm not really seeing a problem.Originally posted by Ranman

I'm not doubting it's a real problem, and I believe the design could have been better thought out but, I wonder how much is attributable to other circumstances.Originally posted by Ranman

My kit is downstairs in my finished basement - 10ft from my computer, sitting under two halogen recessed light fixtures, and next to the circut breaker box for my entire house. Yep, I think I can try some things. I'll try somethings tonight and let you know.Comment
