This product combats hum caused by other equipment's transformers. Information is here:
I used it for only a short time before rejiggering the entire system it was used in. I had a subwoofer hum problem as well as a big, noisy amp transformer. But I later altered the whole chain to balanced connections and Hypex amps and got rid of buzz and hum gremlins that way.
Emotiva CMX2 AC Line Filter with DC Offset Eliminator (Review and Measurements)
There has yet to be an AC line conditioner that shows any sort of measurable benefit. One area that hasn't been looked at is the value of DC blocker which can contribute to mechanical transformer hum. While it's not rocket science to build your own DC blocker, it is potentially fatal working with high volage / high current AC power -- which I guess makes it just rocket science.
Up for review today is the Emotiva CMX2 AC Line Filter. It sells for $82 including shipping...
