Thank you for your purchase of the HE18 Buzz Off. If you’ve got
hum or buzz in your audio signal, the HE18 is the solution you
need. Almost all AC hum is caused by ground loops. These ground
loops act like radio antennae, picking up hum and noise. The HE18
removes many causes of noise by eliminating the ground potential.
1. Unpack and Inspect the HE18 package
Your HE18 was carefully packed at the factory in a protective
carton. Nonetheless, be sure to examine the unit and the carton
for any signs of damage that may have occurred during shipping. If
obvious physical damage is noticed, contact the carrier immediately
to make a damage claim. We suggest saving the shipping carton
and packing materials for safely transporting the unit in the future.
