Re: Am I experiencing ground hum or is it something else?

Hey Fons,

How can I check if the keyboard/power supply is grounded? The power supply itself is a three pronged one....

Thanks.

Andrew.

325.3 Hz and harmonics, either from digital circuits in your
keyboard, or from a switching power supply.

Is the keyboard itself grounded ? If not try that first (if
it has a ground pin...)

One that provides ground separation (i.e. with
a transformer) probably will.
