audio equipment help
 

im patching a regular soundblaster pc card into a crazy large wall-set PA system and i need to know how to reduce the considerable hum that bursts over the speakers when i patch via MONO (RCA style) cable.

make sure there's nothing metal touching the tips of the wires other than the socket it's to be plugged in to

also, try and keep the power wire away from the mono wire

Use better cable

why dont u just connect it directly to ur motherboard/brain.

robocop was built on a multimedia platform

So there is a way to do this with an enhanced cable?...

im using something like

only the cheap ones, and they are male rather then the females pictured above.

robocop doesnt want to incur any possible litigation by YOUKNOWWHO...mmmkay?

If you are running very far using cables and connectors like that you are making a big antenna and asking for hum. Those cheap connectors quite often are fucked up the day you buy them and make a bunch of noise.
