What does the lift button do on a Di?
The ground lift switch eliminates unwanted hum and buzz by interrupting the ground loops between equipment, preventing current flow along the cable shield between two devices.
How do you use Hum X?
The Hum X gets rid of low voltage that can cause ground loop hum while providing a path for higher voltages to ground. Simply place the Hum X onto the power plug of the offending gear. Never lift an AC Ground again! Easy to use, easy to install and completely effective.
