Hi
I have strange rumbling noise inside my 3octaves G2
It can be heared only in a full silence but i cant remember that i heared it before.Tell me please is that normal? All functions are ok.
Cheers

That would be small swedish trolls? Shocked

One of the few things that can actually make a noise is the transformer. It is quite normal and it could at times be described as a rumbling. Hey, can you record this sound? Very Happy

Most Clavia gear seems to do this (my G2 engines and both my NM Classics), I think it to be due to the steel case, the trnsformer being mounted on a PCB and the two interacting magnetically.

Basically a transformer is vibrating and there is a fluctuating magnetic field around it. It is quite normal to hear both mechanically transferred noise and at times also electromagnetically induced nose.

dunno guys...very quite noise can be heared in a full silence...but its stable
and when i took out front panel to check what is problem (!?) - noise was stable also...i guess it going from this little blue box as u say - transformator.Paranoia?

The usual description should go more like a humming rather than a rumbling. Bad transformers may at times actually make a rattling noise. I guess you shouldn´t worry. Transformers are supposed to make some noise. THis is quite normal.
