Hey All -
I have a YC88 and recently noticed while attempting to record through Logic that when connecting to my interface (PreSonus Quantum 2626) through the 1/4" outs, there is a constant static/white noise from the YC88. I've been able to narrow down the possible culprits, and this is NOT related to the interface. I connected multiple other instruments to those inputs and they performed normally. Additionally, I ran the YC88 directly to the monitors and the static persisted.
Oddly enough, the headphone out and XLR outs on the YC88 perform normally - no noise. So this issue seems isolated to the 1/4" outs. To be clear, this is not a ground loop issue - I have everything running through a Furman power conditioner. This is static/white noise.
Any ideas on what could be causing this?
Thanks.

I assume that your 1/4" cables are 2-way, 2 pin and not 3-way or 3 pin. Those YC 1/4" jacks are likely not for tip, ring and shank (TRS) balanced cables.
However I'd always use XLR if I had the choice. XLR is a more professional way or means of connection.
You can freely plug in and unplug at will on the XLR otherwise the wires get crossed/shorted and make a horrible noise using the TRS or TS.
It's funny but Yamaha is notorious for never including XLR I/Os except on their most expensive equipment like the 6K CP1.
It's a pure miracle the YC 73/88 have them but the YC61 does not.
Almost all other manufactures even on much cheaper line boards include XLRs.
This and a touch screen was once never going to be allowed until the competition changed the minds of Yamaha executives.
They had to do or die and they did. I mean one more wire connection for each channel. What does that really cost, $10 more?
