Two ground cables (thin cables with two hook looking things at both ends) should do the trick. You attach one end to your turntable and the other one to your mixer. Didn't you get any with your turntables? Some newer turntables, for instance the TTX, has internal grounding though. Not sure if that's the case with your turntables though.
It's very important to ground your turntables, especially when using SSL.

i think agesmax is using some kind of ttable with internal grounding.

take care, sometimes this ttables suffer hum noise if connected with several other electronic devices and creating a "field".

it is hard to explain... hope you understand me.

where duz the ground cable go? into an earth pin in the socket in the wall? can i just get a cable connected to a earth pin and pulg it in n wrap it round the earth bit on TT and tighten?

That's it...

so u need 2 ground cables? 2 cumin from the TTs connected to the mixer?

TT-----MIXER----TT

like that?

could u use any wire and tighten them into the back of the mixer?

Yeah, you're correct about the two ground cables. One from each turntable. Not sure if your tables need grounding though.

Look at this TTM56. www.rane.com See where it says Phono Gnd? You should have something like that on your mixer.

there is a switch on my TTs ground or ungrounded, u switch it to ground if there is a ground cable or ungrounded if its not grounded, supposed to be

I'm starting to get the basic idea of what your turntables are like. When you use phono (like you should do in this case), you gotta ground it.

my turntables r like BEASTS. i put it on the mixer as line but tables go to phono else it wont needle drop yes.

so could i just rig up a spare wire between the TTs n mixer??
is it a quite thin wire?

The newest TTs have internal grounding!

duz the stanton st150 have internal grounding any 1 know? i dont think it duz, still its the best table u can get

fuk sake answer! al jst need tae burst intae a whole new topic

How on earth should we know? It's your turntables. That should be pretty easy to find out when you got the turntables in front of you.

there not in frunt of me but

Ha ha ha...

...thanks. I needed some comic relief right about now.

2 and a half times more torque than a 1210 and voted best table stanton st150 is better than witever u have got ya prick

Sounds like someone wanna get banned...

Agesmax , you have got to be the most fired up set of fingers on this forum. You really need to lay off the piss n vinegar that you're downing for breakfast.

I have 3 of the STR8-150's. There are no grounds to be hooked up. There is no need to instigate a war of TT's and whole better - who's best.

Here is what the manual says:

Ground lift Operation
Due to the variety of power sources available to the DJ, Stanton has included a
ground lift switch to be used on the ST- 150/STR8-150 turntables. This will allow
the DJ to have the capability of changing the grounding scheme of the phono
cartridge to avoid ground hum that may occur when using the turntable. The ST-
150/STR8-150 Turntable has been designed to operate with third pin safety ground,
and should always be used when available. NEVER REMOVE THIRD PIN
GROUND FROM THE POWER CORD PROVIDED, IF NECESSARY,
USE THE APPROPRIATE ADAPTER FOR PLUGGING INTO OUTLETS
WHICH DO NOT PROVIDE THIRD PIN GROUND TERMINALS.
For best operation of the ground lift, the following rules should be applied
Wh e n t h i r d pin safety ground is used, set the ground lift switch to the lift
position. This position will isolate the cartridge ground from connection to earth
ground.
When third pin safety ground is unavailable, set the ground lift switch to the
connected position. This will place the cartridge ground in connection with the
chassis ground, but since third pin grounding is not used, the cartridge ground will
not be in connection with earth.

oops - "whole better - who's best." was supposed to be Who's better - who's best.

what is this third pin pish all about then?

Stanton's Theory: If you arrive at a gig and have a wall socket that doesn't have GROUND, then using an adpter to the socket you'll be plugging in. Since the socket doesn't provide the 3rd pin(ground) you set your decks to ground differently to avoid noise. Altough this does leave you to trust this concept, when other decks have a physical solution with small guage wire that you connect to the grounding post of your mixer.

Listen, kid... you need to grow up and learn that insults and grandstanding don't help you achieve anything in life (including help on this forum).

P.S. - I'd stack a Thorens with a Black Widow tonearm up against your Stanton anyday...

@ DBB Don't fuel the fire mate :)


@ Agesmax have you tried what I posted earlier vv ?

Have some respect for the people here please, we know a bit about DJing, you would probably benefit from making a few friends on this board.

hahha geesh i like this forum you even get laughs out of it.

The purpose of a ground lift switch is usually to disconnect the signal ground from the power ground.
Basically you plug everything in, if you get a ground hum you flick the switch and it should go away. Some setups need the ground lifted some need it connected and some don't care. There are lots of factors.
