Hard to find unless online.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This Noise Suppressor works. If you do not know how it works, because it lacks instructions, you may have to experiment to resolve your interference issue. Before the amp or after the receiver head, mmm that's the question. I installed this product in a 1978 Chevy Corvette with the main problem with engine noise. Let's see, 1978? The year of the Cat?

Doesnt resolve ANC
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this thinking i had a ground problem. I eventually figured out that the car i owed has what they call "ANC". I have a 2008 pilot. Not all cars have an ANC. Honda for sure does. An ANC is active noise cancelling. Which there are microphones in the car that sence engine noises etc around you and emits sound waves to make it seem quieter. Its similar to noise cancelling in headphones. Prior to knowing this, i purchased this thinking again, ground issue. This did help with the constant loud buzzing sound they'd make without music on. This is actually good for alternator hum that you'd hear. I ended up doing research and so far i know honda uses ANC in their cars so i actually had to find the microphones for the ANC, not bluetooth, because theyre is both mics in the car, and unplug the ANC microphones and now the whole system works perfectly. If you dont have ANC in your car, this would work for you.

Serves its Purpose.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased two of these filters (one for front, one for rear) after getting an annoying squeal that fluctuated with acceleration input through my Kenwood receiver. I noticed this was primarily coming out of my left-rear speaker. After installing these filters, the squeal has been reduced to barely noticeable levels (albeit not entirely eliminated). Installation was a breeze, as I simply unplugged my RCA cables from the factory amp into the radio and plugged the filter to run in series between the radio and the cables (it is even simpler than it sounds). For my installation, I didn't need to hook up the brown ground wires, it just worsened things if they were connected. Overall, good product and I recommend them if you are experiencing similar issues.

Ground loop isolator
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have an aftermarket stereo in my car and an amplifier, the stereo has a phone setting and the people who called had to listen to an annoying squeal, now that the ground loop isolator is in they don't have to listen to it anymore. Easy installation and it worked well.

Fixed feedback buzz in PC to Stereo Connection
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great little device. before tearing your computer down to see where it's not grounded properly (because it probably is) do s simple check. Are your Stereo and your PC on the same power circuit? If yes you might get that annoying 50Hz to 60Hz buzz from your speakers. This fixes the issue because it was designed to do so. It isolates and traps the ground loop feedback and - magically - no more buzz. It's a 2 minute fix that the stereo folks have know about for decades (because it's an analog issue not a digital one). If you have it though the audio inputs it's easy. They make ones for 1/8in plugs as well but this one fit my need perfectly.

good product
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The product does what it says. No instructions but if your buying one you probably know whats going on. Cant say much about it, however the audio techs you have at the Boynton Beach congress are awsome. They know who they are. Very knowledgeable went above and beyond to help me do a custom audio job as far as whats needed ,doing the research looking for every possible options. So to the i give 5 stars

Eliminated High Pitch Whine
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought and tested this Metra TruConnex TC-GLI Ground Loop Isolator and it works! No high pitch whine noise at all. I was expect a tiny bit at high speaker volume but none is present anymore. My guitar signal is fine from my Blackstar HT-1R practice combo amp (clean channel with my pedalboard effects) through my Focusrite Scarlett Solo 2nd Gen and gain levels good in Reaper software too. Now I can start having fun learning home recording without the annoying hardware issues. Best Buy and TruConnex TC-GLI Ground Loop Isolator saved the day!

Good product. Just not to answer to my problem!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It suppossedly works, its just not the answer for problem. But I bought it online from Best buy and showed up to get it and they were awesome and it was quick in and out. Unfortunately I'm still dealing with my ground nuke issues. I think I would pay somebody a million dollars if they could just come out here and solve it for my truck and all the money I spent on stereo equipment that I can't enjoy really. I'm awesome at home remodeling that car stereo. I'm not so good apparently.

Did the job!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased these to combat a noise issue in my Corvette. When you would turn the aftermarket radio on or off, the factory amplifier would turn on before the radio so you would get a pop from them. Putting these in line removes the physical connection (inside the box is a transformer, so the signal transfer happens over an air gap) that DC power can travel through, and eliminates the turn on/turn off pop. NOTE: THIS WILL NOT WORK IN MOST CASES. My use case is very specific and a misuse of the item, but it gets the job done.
