Pioneer mixer shock / static / leaking current FIXED

For years (5) I felt I was "over sensitive" and my decks were super static after buying a DJM-250 to mess around at home. (Replaced my old Ve$tax mixer) 

 

Read all the google pages about static and humidity and shoes until I noticed...

NO GROUND!!!

So I grounded my Rotel amp and linked all the earths from the turntables to the mixer to the amp. Fixed

What's interesting is the new mixer uses 12v... Hmmm... they noticed the error of their ways?

If you are still being shocked, earth the mixer to your home earth. It's a leaking current. Is that dangerous, probably deadly!

No, that just means you have something in your setup which is shorting and not grounded properly. I would recommend you disconnect each component and check them individually to see if they are causing any "shock," then connect them one at a time to find out which is the culprit.

I wish you were right, but you are wrong. I check each and every component, one at a time, all permutations until I earthed the mixer.... FIXED. It's a well known problem. Google it.

Easy fix, slap a earth onto the earth point and connect the turntables. No noise, no current running through me! Fixed!

If the mixer, ALL BY ITSELF, wasn't causing any issue, then the mixer itself isn't the problem, it's a ground-loop between your devices causing the problem once audio cables are connected.
