    challenging problem with pro audio music keyboard (USB) - possibly related to earthing of house

    hehe - thanks for confirming. however, the multi-meter i have here is the cheapest of the cheap and has no CE label; plus it also only list cat 1 and 2, not 3 and 4 - so i think i would need to source a new multi-meter to do these tests. i looked on ebay and found some cat 3 meters for around...

    thanks for responding here. i just spoke with the electrical engineer who re-wired our house recently and read him the reply from 'waross' here.. neither of us are exactly clear on what is being suggested by : 'Check for voltage between all of the receptacles that are related to your...

    challenging problem with pro audio music keyboard (USB) - possibly related to earthing of house

    greetings! i recently bought a nektar panorama P4 music keyboard and found that the motorised fader on the unit is not functioning correctly. after speaking with the engineers at the manufacturing group in california, their conclusion was that there is some type of issue with the earthing of...
