If you haven't shut off your auto gain control (most, if not all dslr video cameras have this default enabled, some are able to turn off, others not), then no.

Nope, got two of them and they both work fine and last longer than the original. Send it back, you probably just got a bad one.

Yeah it sounds defective. I would suggest calling Amazon to see if you can get an exchange.

Don't know--haven't had any problems or noises with mine. Call for tech support.

If you have both wires try one and the other and see if there is a sound difference. Otherwise Google it.

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.

I think something is not right if it is 'extremely' loud. Mine was not silent but it was like a low hum.

I had a slight problem with the hiss. Suggestion that worked for me: Upon EVERY refill, carefully clean ALL surfaces, cracks, threads, and teflon gasket of the head piece. Tighten head to body firmly.

The one I received never worked correctly. Speakers were distorted. I have not used it since.

I have not noticed a hiss. I don't turn my tunes up that high unless I'm mowing the lawn or something and in that environment is doubt I'd hear a hiss

the only hiss I've received, is when I used my headphones as an output, But on my computer, I record videos for youtube, and I don't have that noise. Of course, I have a condenser mic that goes to the input of the mixer... But I have not tried it with a output for an amp or anything other than the headset (which does hiss) and the computer (which doesn't hiss).

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

Speaker hiss no but if u have a cd on at low volume that happens sometimes in some radios don't worry about it

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.

Yes I have the same hissing sound on my unit too. Not too excited about it either. I am from Canada, and shipping it back and forth to the USA will be too much of a hassle and too expensive to do, so I'll just keep it as is. :-(

That is not typical and should not happen. It sounds like you received a defective unit.

You know I had to go and check! However, I have an 828LM and no hum whatsoever. Have you unplugged (the replugged) the unit and tested it away from other equipment for this humming noise?
