General FAQ 18

• Are the XLR connections on the amps and preamps truly balanced?
• The specs say that the amp uses X number of watts. Does this mean that it uses this much electricity all the time?
• I'm getting a hum/buzz from the speakers and/or horizontal bars on the video image - how do I solve this?
• Why do the power cords have two prongs instead of three?
