Lozz196 Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 I`ve not noticed anything like this with mine, but up to date have only used it at home, with the accompanying "home volume". Got a practice on Thurs, so will keep an ear out, and let you know if I experience the same thing. Quote
wateroftyne Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 Nothing on my RH450 that I'm aware of, but it's always muted when it's powered up. Quote
Muzz Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 Yep, my RH450 does that. It's not a noise from the speakers, Lozz, it happens with mine whenever it's switched on (even when I'm using headphones and they aren't on my head), and seems to come from the amp itself. Now I'm hoping it's nothing significant Quote
molan Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 My brand new Staccato does exactly the same thing, pretty sure my old RH450 did as well. In fact the RH did something similar on power down as well. I don't think it's anything to worry about. I asked TC & they told me something about just circuits powering up. Quote
Muzz Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 And from me...not that I was worried at all, you understand... Quote
Legion Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 It's a common occurence with the types of switched mode power supplies used in Class D amps, nothing to worry about. Quote
SMV Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 My RH450 makes the noise too. When I first heard it I just thought it was cool Maybe I should think more about these things!! Quote
Lozz196 Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 I`ve never heard anything from mine, tho if it`s a common feature, my not hearing it is an obvious warning to playing in heavy rock & punk bands for 30 years Quote
Musicman20 Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 I get a very very low whirling noise which is just the startup of the amp. Ive tried 3-4 of these amps and they all do it. Dont worry Quote

Now I'm hoping it's nothing significant [/quote] Yep, I have owned two and both do that on powering up. It comes from the amp, like you say. Seems normal for this amp (RH450) and I guess by extension the Classic and Stacatto too. Quote
Lozz196 Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 I listened out for it on mine last night, and it does do it, so from all other input as well, it seems that this must be regular for TCs gear. Glad someone else noticed it first, I`d have gotten paranoid otherwise. Quote
