RE: Speaker hum from Aquarium flourescents.
Posted by jerrygp on June 10, 2012 at 10:19:56:
Post update...I removed the old flourescent fixture and replaced it with two standard light sockets and 10W micro mini CFL bulbs by Sylvania. No more hum. The ballasts in the flourescent fixtures create a pretty strong 60Hz magnetic oscillation that was either affecting my speaker drivers or my cabling, thus producing the hum.
