MC 303 output noise

Post by thebiglebowski »

Hi,
I have question for all MC-303 users out there. I've recently started playing again with my box. It's from 1998, but in good shape. Only one thing bothers me, and I can't remember noticing it when I used the unit years ago. The output is very noisy. It's not a hiss, its more like high-pitched noise, really irritating. I've uploaded this sound, its amplified by 1db. I don't have bat ears, but I can hear that sound on headphones even with the master volume at 50%.

I've bought a new power adapter, checked the cables, plugged it into various power strips, directly into the wall plug – no difference, i don't think it is a power issue.

How's your 303, is it noisy in general or is something wrong with mine?

Thanks.
