    Could be no earth connection from turntable to mixer, or loose contact wire on cartridge in the arm

Turntables output at phono level NOT line level so make sure your settings are correct to engage the phono pre-amp in the desk for the lower signal level.

SOURCE: left output from one of my turntables cuts out regularly leaving a hum

No, the issue is either with the RCA cables or the tonearm. You might also want to check your cartridge and headshell connection. Make sure the contacts are nice and clean, and securely on the headshell. Have you tried swapping out your turntables? Take the left turntable, and put it on the right channel's input, and vice-versa? This will tell help isolate the issue. If the problem just moves, then we know it's not your mixer. If the problem remains on the same side, then you know there is something wrong with your mixer.

If the problem moves, then you can safely say it's your turntable with the issue. The STR8-30's aren't the greatest quality, so it's also possible that you have a faulty tonearm or RCA cables.

Hope this helps.

SOURCE: Numark cdmix2 bpm counter

The CD Mix-1 had a "tap" button for the BPM counter, but the CD Mix-2 doesn't have the BPM feature. They both use the same LCD screens, though, so while you can see the "BPM" on the screen, it is not a function that is included. Why Numark did this is beyond me. I had a CD Mix-1, and while primitive, the BPM 'tap" button worked just fine.

better take it to the dealer and get it changed since you have the warranty for it.

If all of your door switches check out, replace the magnatron, capacitor, and diodes.

Hi i have a kenwood system which has a loud hum/buzz over the vol this is louder on radio basically unable to hear any music / speach the hum also is on all other selections cd tape aux record deck mo

This sounds like an earth loop, try discounting the earth in the record deck 13 amp plug. If this works reconnect earth and get a stereo isolating transformer to go between the output of the record deck and Kenwood amp. Remember disconnecting the earth can be dangerous if you don't know what you are doing, best to just disconnect the RCA leads from the deck to start with. To explain an earth loop it's when you have more than one earth point e.g. amp with a earth and record deck with a earth or a CD deck. You can get the transformer from marlin.

How do I find a Technics SL-BD22 grounding wire?

A grounding wire is just a piece of wire connected to an earth point on the deck, connecting to an earth point say on a radiator pipe. There's nothing special about this wire any old piece will do. You only need it if you get a hum noise when the turntable is connected to the amp.

My technics 1200 mk3d powers up and the platter spins but I'm not getting any sound out of it when my cartridge is in? Any help would be appreciated.

Disconnect ALL of the wires to the cartridge. With the amplifier on, the turntable connected, put your finger on each one of the wire ends to the cartridge one at a time. On two of the wires you should hear a loud hum, one on the left and one on the right. The other two wires are earths and will probably make little or no sound at all.
If you hear the hum then the amplifier is working and the connections between the deck and amp are good. In which case you have a faulty cartridge or poor connectors to it.
If you get no hum, then either the wires between the deck and amp are faulty. Or there is a fault in the magnetic cartridge pre-amp inside the amp. If the hum is weak, that too could indicate a faulty pre-amp. Or that your amp doesn't have one. In which case you will need to connect one between the deck and amp. This will apply if the amp has no dedicated "phono" socket.

Turntable troubleshooting

A loud hum is usually from an earth problem (in fact 'not earthed')
So your best bet seems to try the 2nd pre-amp again, and see if there is a pin or connector for an earth link. Mine earths to the chassis of my main amp.

It could be a bad connection of the earth pins to the cartridge. One turntable I had hummed even with an earth connection. I found out that the cause was the connection of the earth wire in a 3 pin plug.

Im thinking about buying a djx750 and have rokit 5 monitors. would this work? what is the best way to connect them, to have good sound? it is just for a home dj setup, all on one desk, two cd decks,...

Here is alink to the manual:http://www.behringer.com/EN/downloads/pdf/DJX750_P0956_M_EN.pdf You should have no problems hooking them up (RCA to RCA). I've been using a Behringer XenyX1222FX board in my recording system for about 4 years now and have been quite satisfied with it's reliability. Try to find a dealer who will demo the mixer for you.

I'm getting a buzzing noise after hooking up my turntable that I haven't used in years. It seems to be working fine except I think I need to use a grounding wire, can you help me with this?

There should be a connection point on the turntable to connect an earth wire. Simply connect it to a metal object that is earthed, some amps have an earth terminal. Sometimes if the mains plug on the deck has an earth lead on it, it can cuase a hum. On the other hand sometimes it needs connecting.

Amps ? stereo intergrated amps ?

Since the mixer has a line level output, yes you can use a home stereo for the "AMP". Use the AUX IN, TAPE IN or CD IN on the stereo and connect the speakers as you normally would.

Humming noise/ feedback

your mixer should be grounded by the power cord, and the decks have a seperate ground wire which connects, usually on a screw terminal, to the mixer, which provides the ground for the decks. I would try the headshells to make sure they are tight and connected correctly also make sure the power socket on the wall is earthed properly.
