    It seems no help will be forthcoming from EHX on this, especially I imagine now that the 2880 is officially discontinued.

    There aren’t any schematics available or info that I can find on how to disconnect the metronome from the audio path. But, just recently I noticed that the Clix bleed-through only seems to happen on the Left output. So if you don’t need stereo, you should be able to get around this just using the Right output and panning your tracks accordingly.

    I haven’t been doing this long enough to confirm that the noise never shows up at the Right out, but so far, so good. Just thought I’d post this here in case some other second-hand 2880 buyer is going crazy searching the web, trying to find a work-around. ;)

    Early units (so if you bought a used one this could apply to you) had this problem even with acceptable wall voltages. For example the Clix buzz would start around 112 VAC in the US. The problem was fixed with a couple of hardware changes to the power supply circuitry inside the 2880.

    If you have a newer unit the problem could be due to a faulty AC Adapter or if you are not using the correct AC Adapter.

    Is there any way to identify the older units, to know whether you should be looking at just trying a different AC adapter or whether you’ll have to have the unit serviced?

    I have a used one that seems to be doing this. It came with an EHX brand 9V 500mA adapter. Tried plugging it into different outlets, but the click noise is sporadically still there. It seems most likely to become audible when you’ve just brought up a fader (especially the Mixdown).

    What’s the fix for this if you have an older unit and the fault is not in the AC adapter? Is there a simple way (I have a decent amount of soldering/DIY experience) to take the Clix track out of the audio path entirely (I’m syncing to MIDI, so I have no real use for it).
