How To Stop Ground Loop Noise - ifi GND Defender Review
Ground loop noise in audio setups is quite common. It’s also extremely annoying. Ground loop noise will typically sound like a low frequency hum or buss, or it could sound like electrical noise from your computer. In some cases you can hear GPU noise, noise from your harddrive and so on.
In this video I’ll review the ifi GND defender, which is a relatively cheap device which will effectively remove ground loops from your system. It can be plugged directly into your computer, at the back of monitors, electric guitar amplifiers and so on.
Ground loop noise from speakers, monitors etc is a problem that many music producers and musicians struggle with, because gear and devices will usually be interconnected by signal cables, while at the same time being independently powered. This will induce multiple grounding points in the system, creating the perfect condition for ground loop noise to occur.
Unlike those ground lifts, this doesn’t try to filter out the noise after it has occurred, which will often result in reduced low-end. Instead, the GND defender prevents the ground loop from occurring in the first place, taking care of the problem at its source instead, which is the ideal thing to do.
It is also perfectly safe to use. In the case of an actual electrical fault in your system, the safety of the ground will be preserved.
Note that if you use this thedive with studio monitors, you’ll ned two devices, one for each monitor. In most cases though, plugging it into the back of your computer will take care of the problem.
