DDRC-88A Noise Floor / Gating? 7 months 1 week ago #64390

I have speakers that will auto-poweroff after detecting silence for a period of time. The feature worked great until I installed the DDRC-88A.

my guess is the 88A is transmitting static and/or elevating the signal noise at just enough volume to keep the speakers from recognizing silence. I do hear a bit of static if I put my ear in the speaker but it’s otherwise imperceptible elsewhere in the room.

Does anybody have any ideas how I can fix this? Maybe there is a way to noise gate from the 88A?

My cables are all balanced and shielded and this only became a problem with the addition of the DDRC.

What sort of volume setting do you generally use on your DDRC? If you have enough headroom you could use a passive inline attenuator to reduce the noise level. This sort of thing:
