; Hum or noise
* Make sure you are using a balanced cable between the two L1 Compacts (1/4 inch (6.3 mm) Tip-Ring-Sleeve)
* If possible, both L1 Compacts should be connected to the same power source (e.g., power bar or AC outlet)
* If using a laptop, try running it on battery only. Some laptop power supplies can be very noisy
* Check the connection to the first L1 Compact to avoid sources of hum or line noise (poor or incorrect cable connections)
