Dwarf Noise (Solved)

Hey Plutek!

So I’m recording currently, taking a minor break.

Be very careful with the normalized one, it’s a very boosted version of the silent recording and gives a better detail of what sort of noise that is being generated. Turn the volume down.

The track with audio is just to prove that the audio comes through nice and clear at the gain settings I have set. Any effects are actually coming from the Strega as I patched my 0-coast into the external input.

So far I have discovered 2 things

  1. The dwarf is 100% noise free in this signal path using the original power supply. Input gain at 37% with no ability to gain higher without peaking the inputs and outputs of the dwarf. Output at 75%. Board is completely empty with inputs patched directly to output.

  2. There is something failing in my big set up. My guess is the power surge I experienced before I was able to surge protect has damaged my mixer power supply.

I will be providing just the silent output recordings for this configuration, and then with the new PSU. I will also load my shimmer board and test with that.

Here is the folder that contains the first recording tests with supplied PSU: Dropbox - Mod Test 2 supplied PSU - Simplify your life

Second test with double insulated after market PSU:
