HUMFREES

[DET1973]

Has Anyone Ever Used Humfrees Rack Isolation Tabs? I was told by Line 6 To use them with my G90 Wireless to isolate the wireless unit from the metal rack rails.

I used humfrees, but learned they didn't work for all of my devices (the ears were too large). I switched to these, and haven't had any problems yet.

do you use these between the rack gear and the rail?

Yeah, Humfrees work like they should if the ears aren´t too thick. If you have trouble with ground loops together with something else in the rack they could be just the ticket, but it could also be the wiring; basically connected shields in unbalanced connections causing double ground.

Correct. My rack screws have a plastic washer on the face side, so the gear is isolated there as well.

Have been using humfrees for years and they work great. Never had ANY problem with them fitting anything, including my old tube power amps(long gone now).

Been using them for many, many years as well. Never any issues and they sure solved some ground hum I had.

I use those too. I put one on each side of the rack units faceplate and get no continuity when tested with a multimeter from the faceplate to the rails or screw, so they seem to work.
