Author Topic: Subwoofer is humming...help! Aaron Garman Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1470 From: Toledo, OH USA Registered: Mar 2003 posted 08-07-2003 07:56 PM                     I have yet to fix it. I've told two managers about it, and I do not believe they have taken a look at it as of yet either. I've reported all my problems to them, what I've tried, and what it could be. I guess all I can do is wait for them or our tech to come in. I'll keep you all posted if it is fixed. Thanks for all the help guys.

I finally got a manager to help me change the format card...joila! Of course, the hum is now in the auditorium we swapped cards with, but we at least know what the problem is. Our tech is supposed to come in this week so now we only need to get a new format card. But I did have some questions. The bad card was in a large theatre (386) and the good one came from a smaller one (roughly 150). Now, we ran some trailers in both and the bass does sound louder and maybe a tad hot, but it's good for now. Is it ok to leave it this way? Also, is there anything else that may change because of swapping out the cards? It's great timing too: we're running The Passion in this big house starting tomorrow. I want to thank all of you for your help in this matter. I'll still keep this up to date if anything changes.
