Another new Snow owner

[glenn303]

Hello everyone.
I just bought the Snow recently and so far i love it but i have one gripe with it, whenever i use it via audio outs it has this constant hum going on.
Ive tried different cables, i thought it might be my mixer so i plugged it directly into my audio card (EMU 1820m) still noisy. I even plugged it into another power outlet and moved it away from my other gear but i still have noise coming out of it.
Anyone else experience this problem?

have had the SNOW for 48 hours and WOW!!! I am not experiencing a noise issue. I am routed thru a KP3 into a rack mixer and into main studio mixer. plenty of opportunity for noise but not an issue. hope you track it down and it doesnt prove to be the unit.

I hate to be a downer but this might be a manufacturing defect. I once purchased a brand new Roland CDX-1 that had a buzz only in the left headphone channel. I returned it and the new one was fine.

It's extremely rare nowadays. Most of the time it's some grounding or similar electrical issue but occasionally you'll just get something off the line that's pre-fucked-up.

I just tried the snow with headphones plugged directly into it and no noise so it must be something else. A bit of a mystery.
