Fixing synthesizer hum with devicefrom @iamstarya

[01]

Overview

The creator identifies a persistent hum coming from their Moog Matriarch synthesizer, shows the noise on their audio software's meter, and then demonstrates the fix. They unplug the synthesizer's power cable, insert an iFi Ground Defender between the cable and the power brick, and show that the hum has been completely eliminated on the audio meter before playing the synth to confirm the clean sound.
