EQ573 Equaliser / Re: EQ573-II noisy in pre mode

Oh yeah, good idea! Yep that helps, to be honest I only noticed it when I was mixing a quiet track with the EQ cranked, it's not really an issue with proper gain staging, I just wanted to check it wasn't something I had done wrong...

EQ573 Equaliser / EQ573-II noisy in pre mode

« on: February 20, 2024, 10:47:59 AM »

Hey, I've been having a lot of fun with my EQ and preamp, which seem to be working great although I recently noticed some noise when using them together in pre mode, and I was wondering if that was normal? It's like a static hiss which gets louder as you turn the EQ pots away from centre/zero, and stays the same level as you change the pre-amp gain - and it's not crazy loud or anything but I thought I would ask since it's absent when running the EQ in XLR mode. Is it worth trying a different link cable? Or do I just need to watch my gain staging? Thanks!
