HELP!

HELP!

I bought the ARTcessories CleanBOX II and hooked it up. It made a terribly loud hum!

I connected my recievers subwoofer pre-out to the CleanBOX II with a cable that has an RCA jack on one end and an unbalanced 1/4" TS jack on the other. I connected the CleanBOX to the BFD with a balanced 1/4" TRS cable. I powered up the amp and it hummed very loudly. What did I do wrong?

The connections on the CleanBOX II are confusingly labeled in that one side is labeled input and the other side is labeled output, but a painted line seems to indicate that the inputs are connected, which seems not to be the case as I have tried connecting the cables all ways.

Help!
