PIONEER VM 80 BUZZ NOISES PARASITES

[Trancer]

Good morning,

I have just bought Pioneer VM 80 and I have a Buzz, parasitic noises when plugging in.

I put power outlets without earthing and nothing changes, the Buzz is still present.

As a test, I carried out an empty test, only connected the speakers to the 220 volt sector, nothing else is connected, only the speakers.

I tried on other power outlets and the Buzz is still present.

I have a new dawless configuration.

Two synths connected (mixer) to the first input of the RC 505 Mk2 and a third synth connected to the second input of the RC 505 MK2.

The output of the RC 505 MK2 (Asymmetrical) is connected directly to my Pioneer speakers.

As the no-load test that I tried at the beginning already poses a concern for Buzz, I wonder like the Asymmetrical L output (RC 505 MK2) and Pioneer input, if I took a Radial Engineering PRO D2 style DI box or the JDI model STEREO that I connect with the RC 505 MK2 that I pass through the microphone inputs of a Mackie Profx6v3 style mixer and I use the outputs of this mixer in XLR to my Pioneer speakers, this could be a solution to eliminate the buzz ?

It's a DI box and a mixer on top of that, but if it can eliminate the Pioneer Buzz why not.

Thank you in advance for your answers.

Active monitors with nothing connected at the inputs should be dead silent when the volume is at decent level. If turned up to full blast, you might hear some modest hum which relative to the loud music would not be a problem.

If this bothers you, then return them under warranty or buyers regret.

Thank you very much for your answer.

The speakers are positioned at almost 3/4 of the volume.

You are talking about returning them under warranty.

Are they defective?

Or is it related to the design of the speakers?

So, putting a DI wouldn't change anything to remove the Buzz?

I suspect this is an issue coming from the design, alas. Not so long ago this price bracket was where nearly decent passive monitors started. Now they also crammed in an amp. So corners must be cut.

Thank you for your reply.

Indeed, construction problem.

Here it's just speakers for a dawless set, therefore secondary.

I was looking at the Adam T8V, Presonus Studio 8 + sub.

But certainly the same concern for design and risk of buzz, also hum.

I looked at the Mackie HR 824 MK2 speakers, apparently good speakers and not subject to the problem of buzz, parasitic noise apparently.

If you have any ideas, don't hesitate.

Need powerful, reliable speakers (given my musical style) and without this problem of buzz and parasitic noise.

Thank you in advance for your answers.
