too much hiss,how can i eliminate the hiss

As others have suggested, the hiss is coming from something upstream of the speaker. I have two of these speakers and have used them extensively, and they are silent except for the signal coming in. If you are using a mixer or some other input device that requires you to set the level, pay close attention to the procedure for doing so. Improperly set levels can cause noise problems when you turn up the volume to the level you're after.

Could be any number of reasons, but the three big ones are: 1) Volume to Loud 2) bad cable 3) not grounded properly,

if you have hiss it may be the source signal not the speaker. The source maybe to high. Turn on your audio source then turn thr music all the way down. if you hear the hiss than its your source not the speaker

Since I don't know anything about what the sound source is, I would suggest turning the high-end down a little. I use mine as a floor monitor and I set the volume, treble, and bass all at 12 o'clock and then boost the signal from the mixer.

Make sure all of your equipment is properly connected. Do not use a device that removes the ground on power cords. I had a computer power supply plugged in with a ground eliminating adapter and it created a lot of buzz. I set the volume, treble, and bass all to 12:00 on the speakers.

1. If you have two speakers make sure they are both on the same electrical source.2. Make sure all the cords/outlets are properly grounded.3. Fluorescent lights can cause noise. See if that is the source.4. Try different input sources. I had a system that 'buzzed' a bit, if the laptop was displaying a white screen.

To be honest I have always ran the gain pretty low because I use it as a direct amp and use other pedals for higher gain. The high or mid equalizer maybe? If the volume is really high alomg with the gain there could be more hiss.

Either the mic is too close to amplifier or it's turned up to high. Cannot go max volume.

Not a hissing sound. Just a gentle whirling. I can only hear them when I'm 5-10 feet away. You can make them quieter by installing a computer fan resister inline. I'm sure they're on Amazon.

Hissing may be water inside the innards where it shouln't be. I would return it for an exchange if I were you. I hope you kept the packaging!!!! Call them first to tell them you are sending it back. This device should not make hissing sounds--loud motor noise seems to be the norm, though! --SuAnn

Try putting a barrier between the audio or speaker cable to your power cables. Or don't let both cables, run side by side for it will create interference, such as distortion noise. Using a power conditioner helps a lot.

The back ground noise is SO loud. I have tried many things to make it quieter because I can't hear the voices and words over the noise. Most recently some one told me to put a piece of bread over it's speaker while recording to cut fuzz, that kind of worked but I would suggest an audio program to cut it out maybe?

If you're carrying audio over HDMI, your connection is fine. The cause of the hiss is either your receiver-speaker lines or the audio settings on your computer, including drivers and software. If the his happens for other HDMI audio sources (e.g. gaming console, BluRay player), then the problem is your speaker connection. If it's only your computer, Try updating audio drivers, different audio programs, and verify that the sound card and receiver are using the same audio format. Good luck!

It is doubtful that this problem can be fixed by the user. If it is still under warrantee, contact the manufacturer. An alternative is to measure the output with a VOM.

There could be many reasons for the hiss...have you troubleshooted main things like volume, mic setup in windows, tried another mic...? If all mics are same, then yes maybe so, otherwise, it could be mic, software, settings, where u plug it, compatibility etc..... I bought this as i had no sound from built in sound card, but my mic worked fine. I have an hp webcam with built in mic. This sc has software that you can make yourself sound like you are in a small room, big room, outside, etc... it plays my music, sounds fantastic. Might be worth trying just for that :D

I find the 'hissing' sound diminishes when I turn the TV volume up higher than normal and moderate the headphones volume.

I use a Focusrite 2i2 audio interface, with balanced XLR to XLR cables - very quiet. What are you connecting to the monitors? Make sure you are using quality cable(s) as well.

There is no hiss nor hum at all in my system at any setting with my Emotiva miniX A-100. The preamp is Parasound Halo P3. Speakers are KEF LS50. Cartridge is Denon DL-S1.

This is not normal. I believe the hissing sound in your system originates from a cross talk of the audio in cable (that connects between your Bose unit to your PC) or your power source. Try the following : Re-route the audio cable (avoid running the cable parallel to a power line) which is the easiest, or try using a power converter/stabilizer. Before you invest in a power stabilizer, unplug the audio input from your PC and crank up the volume gradually. If there is no noise, then your power line is "clean". If you plug in the audio cable back to the PC and the hissing sound re-appear, the source could be the PC or the audio cable cross talk, or the poor earthing of the chassis of your PC.

I seldom experience a hissing or crackling. When I do I just scan and the noise goes away. This happens very infrequently to me. I rarely have any problems with hissing. I found out a while back that if you are too close to the TV you may experience a hissing. Just move a little bit away and it will clear up.

The unit does have a hiss sound which is not too noticeable during playback.I tried a few things to alleviate the hiss to no avail.

I do not know the techies but I have this in my system and it works like a charm. You probably will have to go to the forum of dbx for more details. I wish I could tell you more but it is a very good system no hiss on your microphone even close to the speakers.
