"Helps to eliminate live sound and recording hum headaches."
Verified Customer
zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
This unit does the best job at eliminating hum without harming the quality of the signal. Wish they had a rack mountable unit like the ebtech 8 channel.
Sound
When comparing the HD400 to the Ebtech Hum eliminators, this one is the clear winner. The Ebtech cuts the audio signal volume and takes out the highs so badly that I would rather deal with the hum! This unit does a VERY good job at trying to ensure the the audio signal coming in is the same quality and tone as the processed audio signal going out.
Features
There really aren't any extra features. I wish they had an 8-way rack mountable model.
Ease of Use
No settings required. Just plug it in and you're ready to go.
Quality
Excellent quality.
Value
These seem to be cheaper than the competitor.
Manufacturer Support
Have not needed to called support. I guess that is a good thing.
The Wow Factor
It looks nice. However, when you have 4 or more of these units wired up next to each other, they don't really stack well. Outer surface is slick.

Perfect for the application, made good on its promises and solved the hum.
Sound
Totally eliminated the hum...and my application is sort of non-standard. I haven't a CRT monitor and I do a lot of recording. Well these put out a very large EM field and will caused your pick-ups to pick up a lot of hum...this thing did the trick.
Features
One feature...it gets rid of the hum, what else do you want?
Ease of Use
Just plug it in and it works.
Quality
It a little tin box....I wouldn't go dropping it on the floor, but I'd say it would survive.
Value
Half the cost of the others, and it delivers.
Manufacturer Support
Not on this product, but Behringer make good cheap products. I own their DUALFEX Pro & PowerPlay Pro.

It's a box...how sexy can it be?

I am very satisfied with this, I won't be looking for anything else. It kills the noise and doesn't touch my sound.
Sound
This little bastard actually works. My sound had a decent amount of AC Hum and this got rid of it ALL. I forget when my damn amp is on now because its so quiet.
Features
Its 2 channel, 20 bucks, what more do you want?
Ease of Use
Plug in and go.
Quality
Rugged. This is definitely road worthy.
Value
$20 for no noise...you NEED this.
The Wow Factor
I couldn't record without it anymore.

Sound
Was successful in doing what it is supposed to do.
Value
Funny. Last year I paid $19.95 for the product. This year it is $29.95. I guess they figured it is worth more since it really works.

"THIS IS IT."
I was having hum in my effects loop that was so annoying, it simply wouldn’t go away with any remedy that I could think of. Bought this little gem from zZounds and I did that famous “smile” whenever us musicians experience something really cool music-related. Hum was DESTROYED as the title holds. God bless Behringer for always delivering extremely affordable and quality products. Highly recommend this box if nothing else is working. You will be 100% satisfied.

"A basic unit for minor-moderate hum issues"
Verified Purchaser
zZounds has verified that this reviewer purchased this specific product from us.
Overall, this is good value and everyone should probably have one handy. But, it will not solve all hum problems! Really tough cases will require something like a EHX Humdebugger --but those are more expensive and do affect your sound quality.
Sound
This is an affordable isolation unit that will often (but not always) reduce hum.
Features
Basic unit, but nice that it has 2 channels.
Ease of Use
plug in cables and go... how easy is that?
Quality
Metal body but lightly built. I would not want to leave this on stage where it might get stepped on.
Value
Good value for the price. Does the same job as other units 2x as expensive.

"nice sound, nice price, zero stamina."
Verified Customer
zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
i wished it didn't crap out on me so quickly, i was getting excited.
Sound
initially it worked fine, it got rid of the static coming from all my ac adapter(don't own a daisy chain). it didn't seem to kill the tone and left things sounding different, but in a good way.
Features
kills noise, the end.
Ease of Use
plug in, plug out, no power supply needed, completely passive, couldn't ask for more.
Quality
worked fine, but after LITERALLY 3 days it's beginning to make a lot of unwanted buzz.
Value
20 bucks, worth it, maybe you'll have better luck thaan me.
Manufacturer Support
haven't bothered.
The Wow Factor
works nice, good price, people should at least try it.
