Make sure you are using good shielded audio cables. Some less

 

 

expensive audio cables can be susceptible to hum and

 

 

interference. Keep your audio cables away from AC power cables

 

 

and AC transformers. Make sure the mixer is not mounted too

supplies or ballasts. Make sure your turntables are properly

 

 

grounded to the back of the mixer if they include a grounding

If you are using a microphone, make sure that you are not too

 

 

close to the speakers or headphones. If you hear feedback on

 

 

the Phono Input, then the turntable may be mounted to close

 

 

to the speakers and/or subwoofer. Also, make sure the turntable

 

 

base is placed on a surface that does not vibrate or resonate

 

 

easily when the speakers are turned up loudly.
