It may be the power transformer.

This is mounted to the back panel of the amp.

You could try this.

Remove the amp from the cabinet, 4 screws, it may have a plastic cover on the insdie, take this off, you will see the xformer, try tightening the screws holding the xformer, see if that stops the hum.

If that does not work, you could get a few thin plastic or rubber washers and put them under three of the screws holding the xformer.

this may work on solvinhg the problem, then it may not.

A few other things you can check is the polarity of the outlet the unit is pluged into. It could be reversed.

Check your system grounds, you could have a minor ground loop.

Also check your interconects, are they running by anything that could cause interference.

I have connected the subwoofer to the pre-amp out


One of two things may be going on.

The amp has a fuse mounted on the PC board. The fuse may be blown.

The speaker may be bad. that may have blown the fuse.

You can test the speaker with a "D" battery.
Take the amp section out of the back, disconnect the speaker leads.
Touch the speaker leads to the poles of the battery. it should make a little thump and the cone should move freely.

Contact Velodyne for service.

Velodyne CHT 15 hums when power is on and does not seem to be working now. Was working and noticed a black residue when I wiped the port on bottom a week ago.

The power board is burned.If you know how to fix it,Try replacing it by opening the case, look for something that unusual such as burned, overheated, etc.Then replace it with new parts.
Or you can find a qualified personnel to fix this problems.

Sub has started humming with amp turned off. just turned on at wall switch.nothing running

If the hum is from the back of the unit around the amplifier, it may be the transformer. It could be that the mounting is loose.
It could also be that the transformer is going out.

Disconnect all the inputs to the unit, Still hum?

If the hum stops you have something causing noise to the input.

If you have it on a switched circuit, try moving the power plug to a different outlet that is not on a switch. If hum stops, then you have something on that circuit causing the problem

if all inputs are disconnected and it still humms good chance it is the transformer.
