A typical instance is a transformer whose input and output impedances are the same, but is an impedence matching transformer. yes, as the other reply states, this uses magnetic field coupling to keep the input and output circuits completely apart from each other.
In my opinion, it is not an electrical whine. If it is electrical, it will come from the power side of the system. It is recommended that you have your alternator checked, and if it is in good working order, you should add a filter to the electric The parts houses will check your alternator for free and provide suggestions (or did in the past) if yours is in need of repair. This helped me because I had a mechanical switch box that switched only the signal, but not the ground, for two computers which were plugged into audio speakers. There was so much noise passing on the ground between the two sources, not something that would be typical of a vehicle on the road.
There is a high rate of cable failure, and the cable is very short, only about six feet long. There are three females in it. Two 5mm standard aux jacks are provided on both sides, so you don't need to worry about connecting
As long as you don't need phantom power or something like that, I don't see a problem with it. Essentially, I use mine as an interfacing device between my PC and my mic and kit. However, you might want to ask yourself if such a device is required, as this could be a sign of another issue (ground loop somewhere else?

Here, apparently implemented as a completely passive AC transformer, it is a ground loop isolator. Among the pros Please note This makes a car unnoticeable when there is an interference from a ground loop - greatly reduced audible interference - As of April 2021, it was the cheapest option available
Cons Please note I somehow managed to noticeably and obviously degrade the quality of my audio with the cable that came with my device
Neither Please note The following are true despite what one may assume In spite of the transformer having just 1 winding, there is a noticeable drop off in volume. I guess it should go without saying, but there is a slight degradation in audio quality resulting from the way it works.
To reiterate, I was actually impressed by the poor quality of the audio cable. The OEMs normally include the cheapest cables with their products, but out of literally hundreds of cables I have seen over the years, very, very few have been so consistently poor as to be this noticeable. As for the unit itself, it's fine. I noticed a slight drop in volume when I put it between some OK IEMs and a headphone amp, but nothing too noticeable. Even though I may lose some audio quality, it'd be hard for me to notice it for my case inside a car, and a car is the only place I need it.
This device helped me eliminate crackling and buzzing that had been introduced when I attached my Bose headphones to my bluetooth receiver. got rid of all noise and left only beautiful sound, BUT it got rid of the left speaker as well. A few tests were run with different cables and different headphones and I found these results Whenever you used any headset connected by an aux cord while using a Bluetooth adapter, this product always failed to remove the left channel from the output. When this product is used alone, without the Bluetooth adapter, it does not remove the left channel from a wired headset. I was able to return it because it was defective, according to the manufacturer. My next purchase will be a different brand. (BTW, I'm not sure if it supports microphones, but I don't use a headset microphone so I didn't mind that part. ).
In my previous cars, I had bluetooth audio, so when I recently upgraded an 04 prius for my girlfriend to drive, I knew it would be an important feature. Sadly, if you have a hybrid and the factory AUX input is also the ground for your charging system, you can't have a USB powered receiver on your vehicle without getting ground loop noise. I completely removed the noise and the sound quality was not affected. I now have crisp sound coming from the factory audio system of my JBL.
The experience is far superior to not enjoying yourself, especially when you are wiring three. There is a difference of 5mm between the two PCs. Worked for me, I am no longer bothered by.
This is unbelievable.
It took me a while to believe what I heard when I plugged this product in! A much louder buzzing sound was heard, NOT the buzzing being eliminated. I have wasted a lot of money on this.
There was a buzzing sound coming from a BT device I was using so I searched around to see what I could do to eliminate the noise. I have noticed that each time I plug this in, it commences buzzing without anything on the other end being plugged. It does not change anything if you plug anything in. I don't think it works on mine, though perhaps it does for other cars.
Among the items I purchased for my custom arcade cabinet was this item. Whenever I used the Raspberry Pi and the analog audio amp, I got a lot of audio hiss. This is what I connected between presto and this. Hiss in the audio has been removed!.
