Oh, indeed. But without knowing what else to try, I'm going to keep it as
is. The fuse in the Behringer is 1 amp, and the XLR screens and connectors
will handle that as a fault current quite happily. I'd not do it where
others were likely to have to fiddle with it.

At the risk of sounding nannying, it should at least be reported to
Behringer. If two of these are faulty, it points at least to a bad
batch.

I'm sure it is safe in your use, but other, less experienced, people
will presumably buy these and who knows what earths will be left off to
cure the buzz.
