Hum eliminators only work when placed between the offending pieces of equipment. And since powered speakers tend to be plugged in on other outlets/circuit breakers and or 120v legs than your board and other equipment is, my money would be on a problem between a speaker(s) and board. Flourescent lights and light dimmers and fan speed controls being on the same circuits can cause problems as well.

I'm not trying to lecture here but in the interest of having all the facts:
Just something to ponder when liberaly using 2 prong adaptors. Without the adaptor if a piece of equipment develops a ground fault it will trip the circuit breaker. With the adaptor anything metal connected to it becomes energized and just sits there waiting for a path to ground to come along. That path may be you or one of your singers.
Worst case scenario: Some old guy with a weak heart or a pacemaker get's a nasty shock and dies, you are now guilty of negligent homicide because you defeated the safety features that would have protected him.
Ultimately it's to each his own.
