Have you ever been shocked while playing on stage or operating a sound system?

Have you ever had a hum or buzz in your instrument rig or sound system you couldn’t make go away except by cutting off the ground lug of your amp or mixer?

Have you ever been shocked by your instrument or microphone on stage?

If your sound system is connected to an improperly grounded power outlet, you could electrify every instrument on stage and not know about it until your lips touch the microphone.

Please take a moment and respond to this brief survey and feel free to check out the responses by others which are available here.
