896 mk3 hybrid operating noise

Post by davel6332 »

Happy Holidays All,

I just got an 896 mk3 hybrid. It's my first motu audio interface, so I have no experience with them. When I first turned it on, it had that hot electronic smell to it, but that seems to have somewhat gone away. What hasn't gone away is a very noticeable high pitched whine when the unit is on. At first I thought it might be related to the readout contrast level, so I turned that down...no luck. It's loud enough that at low listening volumes it's audible and I think that's going to be a problem. Has anyone else experienced this noise? Is this something all motu audio interfaces do? Thanks in advance for your help.
