Hi,
If your mixer is near a CRT you will get a good amount of noise particularly if its a old one. If you cannot find a solution to remove the noise ... add a noise gate with a -40dB threshold.
Cheers

is the noise from the box, from the mixer, is the mixer connected to the box, what else is connected, what do you intend ?
your short sentences are interesting to read, but difficult to answer
cheers, Tom

it was just a comparison.
Only Box connected to Creamware scope by Z-link.
So i have news - my friend with A16 also - got a crystal sound with no noise...But he connected it via ADAT.NOt via Z-link like me.Maybe z-link option is sux? SO now im goonna get some optical cables.Will post test later.

maybe a grounding problem? ah, and 80% of quality and noise problems are related to cable problems. thats why i love scope routing

nope there is no any cables - only a box.
So...A16 connected via ADAT to Scope - makes same noise as via Z-link.So z-link plate is ok - i connect RME ADAT to Scope - crystall sound no noise.Looks the A16 box is defective.

last you could do is to test with your friends a16. then you could say it's the a16...

and don't forget to try a different fw cable. z-link should be very good.

Have you set the scope board to clock master?
I had very strange noises on z-link once when scope was slave to spdif. In the manual it says, when using z-link scope must always be master.

guys please read carefuly above.
Noise stable as in the case of Z-link as in the case of ADAT connection so its a hardly cables or grounds problem..And sure Scope is in master mode.
