Description

Ground loops can be introduced when different components in audio systems are connected with standardaudio cables and these loops can cause annoying interference. In many cases the interference can bereduced significantly with a ground loop break (GLB) circuit including a low-value resistor and differentialamplifiers. This paper explains this approach and how to design a GLB circuit.
