Hello all. I have recently purchased the USB module and a number of extra WS12A dimmers. I have started my install in my theater but my wife can hear buzzing coming from the dimmer. Is this buzzing during operation common? If so I may have to return the system because all the lighting controls are beside her ear during movie viewing.

Cheers, VrT

Are the lights in question standard incandescent types? If they are a low voltage or fluorescent type. The dimming WS12A should not be used with those type lights; unless the manufacturer says it is a dimmable light. Many switches buzz to some point. In many it is the coil in the circuit. Some more than others. depends on how the coil is wound.
