I'm not sure. I'll experiment tonight.
Also, how are the speakers powered? Is there a separate supply for each
speaker or are they daisy-chained together in some way?

The speakers have an external power supply. This is plugged into a four
way plug, which is plugged into the wall socket. The power supply plugs
into the right speaker (which has the amp inside it) and a lead goes
from the right speaker to the left speaker. My SB3 is plugged into the
same four

Good point. You might try using a 3 prong adapter or ground lift.
I've seen this problem many times at live music events. Usulally it
happens when the mixer is at a differnt ground ponential than the

I think Max is in the UK. Over there it's much harder to disable earth
on an earthed plug, you'd have to take the plug apart and unwire it. In
some cases even that isn't possible.

If you have a sealed plug, then use an extension cable that

Maybe way off subject, but I borrowed a Nordost Blue Heaven

I think the sb is grounded indirectly by the ethernet. You should use a
not-shielded ethernet-cable to avoid this. Have a look at the
ethernet-cable, if there is metal around the plug it is shielded.

That hum probably wasn't from a grounding issue, it was probably RFI
(Radio Frequency Interference). An unshielded cable can act as an
antenna of sorts and pick up all sorts of stuff. The foil acted as a
I've just run a cable from the left interconnect to the earth pin on the
plug for the speakers power supply. I've also put a resistor in the
middle of the cable. There's probably lots of reasons why this is a
very stupid thing to do (which is why it's currently unplugged!), but
it cured the hum
I used to use a pair of computer powered speakers with my Squeezebox.
It hummed the same way as you described. They were very cheap speakers
that came with my Dell computer. Last month, I replaced the computer
speakers with a much nicer pair of Edirol powered speakers and the
