Product Description
2-Channel Hum/Noise Destroyer
- Removes AC Hum Noise
- Breaks Ground Loops Safely
- Maintains Highest Sonic Quality
- High-Performance Ultra-Compact Design
- High-Quality Components and Exceptionally Rugged Construction
- (2) 1/4-Inch TRS Inputs and Outputs for 2-Mono or 1 Stereo Signal

- Product Dimensions: 2.36” x 4.09” x 1.38”
Almost all 60Hz AC hum is caused by ground loops that act like radio antennae (loop antenna). The Hum Eliminator completely eliminates this by breaking the ground loop, making it impossible for the signal lines to pick up the AC hum and noise in the first place. Unbalanced lines are more susceptible to picking up electrical noise and RF interference than balanced lines - the longer the unbalanced cable, the greater the chance of a problem. Using this device to connect two pieces of equipment is one of the most cost-effective ways to convert between unbalanced signals and true balanced signals. Automatically Translates Signal Voltages to Match Difference in Ground Potentials.

It worked!! Wow, I wasn't expecting that. I have a Roland Juno-D synthesizer running through a Berringer XENYX802 mixer and outputting to Berringer K900FX amps. It all worked fine until I connected the keyboard to a Thinkcentre desktop computer. I immediately got what I 'think' was a ground loop hum. I switched out several patch cables, thinking I was getting noise through the cables. I tried connecting the keyboard via a Edirol MIDI adapter. That adapter seemed to quiet the connection a little, but wasn't the setup I wanted. I then ran all the sound components through an APC battery backup, trying to isolate the A/C from in house interference. Next, I tried a higher-end grounded USB-C cable with ferrite cores at the connectors--no luck. I finally connected this PYLE PHE300 box in between the mixer and the amps--BINGO--the hum was gone. I don't know if any of the other stuff I did had much effect, but I've left everything in place. I now have clean sound with practically no noise or distortion.

I got this from the warehouse and it was a good deal. Works great for me if I place it after a buffer at the beginning of my signal chain. It cleans up the background noise amplified by the distortion and boost pedals. If you try it without a buffer at the beginning there is a loss in output or something but after there doesn't seem to be any noticeable sound quality loss. No noticeable effect at the end of my signal chain but results may be different.

Resulta que el eliminador de ruido no se debe conectar entre el instrumento y la interfaz (en mi caso una mezcladora o un amplificador) porque genera mucho más ruido sin eliminar nada, sino entre la interfaz y las bocinas para que quite todo el ruido del sistema.En todos los videos y reseñas que he visto, si se usa un solo canal mono, se debe usar el canal 2 en lugar del canal 1, y el canal 1 solo se debe usar cuando el canal 2 ya está usado.

Tengo un home studio con la interfaz de audio steinberg UR22 mkII y altavoces Behringer NEKKST, y los ruidos estáticos eran insufribles, cualquier operación del disco duro se escuchaba por altavoces. Con el PHE300 han desaparecido por completo.

I love the Pyle Pro hum destroyer very much but I could not cancel the hum in my music studio set up which is not for a laptop computer music program it's just for a tape machine.As i said i could not stop the awful humm i get but if i tried only with multi effects pedal i have a zoom G2 and it is a bit noisy on distortion with a bit of buzz and some humm.But even though the humm did not go i can record at a level higher than the humm for my guitar with a drum machine which both are loud enough to hear thank God.I do not know where the humm is coming from if it is the guitar or the Zoom G2.I am starting to believe it is the power supply 9Volts from China that cause the awful humm i hear and i feel I need professional help from a studio engineer because i can't work out what it is that causes such awful humm.But I love the Pyle Pro hum destroyer it doesn't need any power to work and gives beautiful clear volume and sound and tone and i cannot live without it it's just what I needed to me it's just fantastic to use but I cannot stop the humm at all.I tried beads but they cannot stop the humm I hope it's not the fridge to blame.

Compact and perfect for my install. I had a rack of older unbalanced synths I needed to connect to my mixer using a balanced snake. I had a ground loop issue causing hum on 4 synth units plugging directly into the TRS snake that was going to balanced returns on the board. The accumulative hum was bad and annoying, that was a total of 8 channels of hum. I grabbed one of my much more expensive hum eliminators ($80.00) and it removed the hum in one unit. I needed 4-2 channel units and 4 of those would have cost $320.00. These units would only cost roughly $60.00 for 8 channels. I ordered the Pyle Hum Destroyers on Amazon and they arrived the next afternoon. I did a side by side audio comparison test with the more expensive unit, and the results were the same. Zero hum, and in addition like the more expensive unit the Pyle also automatically converts the unbalanced output connections of the synths to balanced out to the board. I found that using a TS cable from the synth actually works better than using a short TRS patch cable which I tried first. The 2 ft. TS cables from the rack mounted synth to the Hum Destroyer worked best, the TRS cable still had a very small amount of hum most likely due to the internal unbalanced jack configuration of the older synth. These were JV1080's. So, unbalanced TS from JV to Hum Destroyer, then out of the Hum Destroyer via TRS balanced snake to the board, hum completely gone. The added benefit is that the Pyle size is more compact, and fits more easily in the back of the rack. I opened one unit and although the construction is less robust than the expensive unit, there are indeed two isolation transformers and a circuit board in an all metal box. They will just stay stationary in the rack so I'm not worried about how they stand up to road abuse. Great value for the money. Used for the correct application these will remove your hum.

I do not get the results shown for this product. The input/output plugs are loose and if you bump the plug in the slightest... you get serious buzz. I can't say that this product work badly for others... just for me. I'm keeping it none the less... because I will figure out why it's plug inputs are loose and fix them myself. It's easier than returning it for an exchange. Made in China does not mean made well. My DOD Gunslinger is made in the USA... and it's works fine without this product... but plug it in and yikes... ground buzz galore.*Update* 6/25/2018... One plug in unit... very bad. I made a choke out of a guitar cable and used it as a patch cord in conjunction with an 8 foot ground rod and ground wire... separate from my electrical panels ground... and got rid of 99% of the hum and ground noise. All that's left is the typical amplifier hiss... which eventually I will get rid of that too.*Update* 8/10/2018 …. now it just buzzes all the time. Does not matter how good the cord is or how well grounded the amp is.Changing my rating to a one star. This product does not live up to it's name. I will never purchase anything with the name PYLE on it again. Total waste of money.This particular product does not do what it was made for. It was cheaply constructed. The plug inputs are less than snug. My 1/4" guitar chord fits in each one of the receptacles but loosely. No snug fit allows for bad ground and buzz and hum. It's junk pure and simple.
