Ebtech HE-2 Hum Eliminator

Back in the early 2000's, the Ebtech Hum Eliminators only cost $ 15.00 to $ 25.00 and recently I see them going for $ 50.00 to $ 102.00 US Dollars , for the 2 channel Hum Eliminators on both Ebay and Reverb .
I used five Ebtech Hum Eliminators in a 10 rack case, along with Humfree tabs on the screws that secure my rack unit and those Ebtechs sure do a great job of killing any potential hum and it safely converts the signal from unbalanced to balance without the need to power those Ebtechs up.

I live 2 miles away from an Airport and 2 blocks from a Police Substation and I no longer have transmisions coming thru my system anymore .The transformers inside those little black boxes sure do a great job of killing hum .

The Morley HE-2 Hum Eliminator is a two channel device with one purpose in mind: getting rid of unwanted AC hum and noise. The two channels each have 1/4" TRS jacks for inputs and outputs. It goes under the sub-name Ebtech, but is put out by Morley, although I'm not 100% on the relationship here. It isn't rack mountable as it stands as it's own box.

UTILIZATION

There isn't anything at all to using the Morley HE-2 Hum Eliminator. Once you've made your connections to set it up, you're good to go as there aren't any parameters or further setting controls. The box does it's thing by getting rid of noise around 60 Hz. I haven't seen the manual for the HE-2 nor do I ever anticipate needing to look at it.

SOUND QUALITY

The Morley HE-2 Hum Eliminator does a pretty good overall job of getting rid of unwanted noise and hum that you'll tend to get with amps and whenever something isn't grounded. Usually a ground plug will do the trick, but this is like a super ground plug that will almost always rid you of unwanted noise. It doesn't have the capability of choosing where you'd like to eliminate noise as it only has one real purpose, but it can definitely come in handy in theses situations...

OVERALL OPINION

If you find that you're having noise and grounding issues on a daily basis, the Morley HE-2 Hum Eliminator is definitely something you're going to want to have around. Of course there are other ways to get rid of noise, but having this to get rid of it at the source is one of the most ideal options. It's not very expensive but isn't incredibly cheap, but keep in mind you're getting two channels here. The HE-2 is definitely one of the most compact and effective noise removers that I've used before.

Jack connectors (two channels with In / Out)

UTILIZATION

Ultra simple, at this level, it is a joy!

SOUND QUALITY

With guitar (PRS, Fender Stratocaster) or low (Sterling-Music Man, Cort active pickups mounted with Alembic)

OVERALL OPINION

I have owned this unit for a few minutes ... the time I realized he was eating a lot of momentum ... I'm using it more (test with: Preamp / Compressor / Limiter Universal Audio LA 610 MkII, Time Factor delay Lexicon, Soundcraft 800b, Alesis HD24 recorder).

The hum has not disappeared, but quite honestly I think the Hum Elimination there is nothing. In this respect, I have no complaints at all.
