Your NAD audio specialist dealer will be happy to advise you and to recommend reference materials.
DEALING WITH HUM AND NOISE
Hum and noise sometimes may prove a challenge in audio systems. Note these considerations to help prevent hum and noise problems:
•Power all your system’s audio component from AC outlets originating from the same circuit of your house wiring. As far as possible, power all audio components from the same outlet, or adjacent outlets on the same circuit. It may be useful to power video displays (and computers!) from outlets on another circuit, especially if that circuit is supplied from the other “leg” of the house wiring.
•Do not bundle analog audio cables with AC power cables, or with coaxial
•Employ
•A
Track down hum/noise problems one component at a time, working backwards from the L 54. That is
aConnect the speakers to the L 54 only, and check for hum.
bThen connect one component only (a CD player, for example) alone, with no other components connected and check for hum.
cConnect additional components, one at a time, to the L 54 and check for hum.
At each stage, if hum/noise appears, examine the audio cabling and
