When connecting monitors to the RØDECaster Pro II or RØDECaster Pro Duo, you may sometimes encounter a buzzing sound emanating from the monitors. This issue can be quite frustrating, especially when trying to achieve a clear and crisp audio output. Several factors can contribute to this buzzing, and it is essential to understand them to effectively troubleshoot and resolve the issue.
Using Balanced Cables
One common reason for monitors buzzing when connected to the RØDECaster Pro II or RØDECaster Duo is the use of unbalanced cables. Using balanced cables is crucial when connecting audio equipment to ensure proper signal transmission and minimize interference. Unbalanced cables are more susceptible to picking up electrical noise, which can result in the buzzing sound you are experiencing. By switching to balanced cables, you can significantly reduce the likelihood of encountering this issue.
Using Different Power Boards
Certain power boards or outlets for your audio equipment and monitors can lead to ground loop issues, which manifest as unwanted noise in the audio signal. To mitigate this, try connecting all your devices to the same power source or using power conditioners to regulate the electricity flow and minimize interference.
Using Different USB cables
Another factor to consider is the presence of USB cables in close proximity to the audio cables. USB cables can emit electromagnetic interference, especially if they are of poor quality or damaged. To address this, try disconnecting the USB cables connected to the RØDECaster Pro II or RØDECaster Duo and observe if the buzzing noise decreases or disappears. If the buzzing subsides after removing the USB cables, consider replacing them with high-quality, shielded cables to prevent interference.
