bad hum with my para di

[ballusticliff]

Hello,
I have a pretty bad hum coming off my para di. I'm playing through my Martin with a ibeam, into the para, then into the mixer. Changed cables and made sure the gain was down. No improvement. I switched to another di and the hum was gone. Any thoughts?
thanks!

Hey ballusticliff,
Is that hum something that is new to your DI? Or have you experienced this before?

The Para DI can be susceptible to ground hum, like any piece of gear, but it doesn't have a Ground Lift to help eliminate it. I assume you're using the XLR output, is that right? If so, have you tried the 1/4" output?
