If a ground lift adapter doesn't reduce the noise then neither would be the case with this device. . .correct?

It depends on where the noise is coming from. The IS250 will isolate not only the ground line, but also hot and neutral. Noise can come from many sources. What are you trying to quiet?

This only filters noise from the device that is connected to the Filter port. For example, I use one on each UPS.

I have a Pioneer AVH-X5700BHS and all I did was ground it and it works fine while I drive. I didn't need this.

It produces a low hum. It may not be enough noise if you are in a fairly noisy location, though.

I'm not sure of the design details but suspect the low power setting has a smoother sine wave output so won't cause "hum" in audio when used to power audio devices. Aybe somebody else as looked into the design in detail.

The short answer is, maybe. It really depends on the install. I sit 8 feet from the installed location and its noticeable that its on. When it is on the noise volume is quite low. However when I go downstairs (directly underneath it) I don't hear it at all.

No, don't think so. Not really it's function.Depending on your application there are "ground loop isolators" for sale on Amazon.

I haven't noticed any added noise particularly increased over other cords and models.

Mine has a slight hum. Some kind of ground loop, I guess. I'm using a 3-pin to 2-pin adaptor on the power cord--the hum is much worse without it. I've tried both the balanced and phone plug inputs (with RCA adaptors)... no difference. I haven't tried breaking the ground on one of the input cables yet.

That's the theory, Christopher - unfortunately I can't tell you if this is one of the ones I bought all around the same time which did not make proper contact so I finally gave up on the idea. They all worked but sometimes at reduced volume and often I had to wiggle the contacts to keep them working. As I say, though, I have no idea if this specific adapter was among them.

No....it amplify the sound but does not reduce it. For what you need, you can simply buy safety air plugs from a drug store for only a few dollars. Hope this helps.

ground lift helps amplify a directly connected bass or electric guitar signal, rather than through an amp. I personally didn't find any use for the coaxials though. They are digital audio connectors, similar to your ordinary headphone jack.

Had the same problem with mine, which was very frustrating because I invested in pro audio cables (Input and output) from Guitar Center before the amp even arrived. After researching online, I purchased a DB Link NF103 Reference Series Ground Loop Isolator for $13 from Amazon which eliminated most of the noise. I also plugged it into a Monster Power HTS1600 Power Conditioner which I was already using for my home theater and the problem was solved.

In my setup, using the amp for two 6inch speakers in back dash, I have yet to get rid of engine noise, the amp I don,t think is the problem. But I yet to fix it.

I would say no; and if anything it won't be worse then a low hum. I used it in a small workshop with 1/4" walls and could barely hear it.

I would think so, but I would feel that it may be a bit difficult because the length of the fan cable is pretty long and than when you add an adapter it's even longer. So it depends if you want it quieter or not.

This preamp does not include a ground lift, you might consider the LR Baggs Session DI instead, which has a ground lift.
