AP7 Pro - Buzzing/Hum

Hi all,

About 3 weeks ago I picked up 2 new AP7 Pros and so far so good from a performance perspective.

The only issue I’m encountering is I’ve noticed that there’s a slight buzzing that they emit that can be quite noticeable.

I have one of them mounted in a room of our townhome and I’m in there quite frequently. Anytime I don’t have my IEMs in it drives me nuts. I really love the unit, but this has been tough to deal with.

Any suggestions?

Hi @Cerros and welcome to the community!

What switch or injector is powering the AP7-Pros?

Hi Matt,

One is powered by a Route 10 and the other is powered by a PoE+ Ubiquiti injector. Both emitting the same type of buzz.

Do you happen to know what type/category of cabling you’re using? This can often be found printed on the cable.

Both are connected via a Cat6A cable. I tried a Cat6 and 6E both with the same sound as well.

Could you DM me a video demonstrating the buzz/hum, please? Believe it or not, that can tell us quite a bit of information.

Hi Matt,

Where were you wanting me to DM you? I don’t see an option here in the forum.

If you click on his name, you should see send message.

@Cerros I just sent you a DM, so you can reply to that.

Hi team, I just got an AP7 Pro and installed it in the lounge room ceiling today. It’s producing loud coil whine. Sadly I have had to turn it off as it’s too uncomfortable. Was there any root cause or fix found? I have a video I can share if it helps diagnose. It’s powered by a TP Link LS108GP and connected over no more than 14m (45 ft) of brand new pure copper solid core cat 6 cable.

@declan Yes, there was a pre-production batch that had a problem. Please reach out to support and they will take care of you.

Great to know, thanks Jeff!

@alta-jeff I’ve also noticed this with the AP7 Pros I received from Provantage. I’ll reach out to support. Interesting you say pre-production. What I received seemed to be the final product.

I’ve only seen it in pre-production units.
