[QUOTE="Brian jojade, post: 1936, member: 211"] O.K, so this is a new one for me, and I'm looking for suggestions. Working in a smaller venue that is using American DJ LED Pro 64 par cans for lighting. They are about 10 feet up and about 12 feet from the front of the stage. Nothing too fancy, and they do the job well. Lots of different acts perform here, and usually things are just fine. However, with a few of them, the acoustic pickups in the instruments will pick up a buzz from the lights. What is really interesting is that this seems to be an induced buzz, and no amount of filtering of the power will fix the problem. If the performer faces the front of the stage, there is buzz. If they turn away from the lights, the buzz goes away. I have gone as far as put the instruments on wireless body packs, and thhe buzz still happens. It's not your typical 60 hz hum. Using a midrange notch filter, we can sometimes limit the issue, but that's not an ideal solution. So, I am looking for a solution to this problem, hopefully that does not involve replacing of the lights. Any ideas? [/QUOTE]
