Does this produce a lot of hiss, ie, can I use it at close range as a computer speaker? Thnx

There's a little hiss I guess - no more than other powered amps - sure it can be used for computer speaker - it's just a little bulky and square. I've enjoyed having the battery powered flexibility and Multi channels and reverb fx. It can kick out really full sound too.

NO.A friend had a different speakers from a different manufacture that when he hooked them up to his computer he had it made some noises. He moved the speakers a way from the computer it work excellent. Hope this works for you.

Yes, even having my laptop monitor being very close never had an issue. These monitor speakers are build to Sheild any interference. I would suggest any of the krk speakers.

It seems to depend on distance. Within 20 feet of transmitter, none at all. At distances of 40 feet or more, sound can be intermittent, but little or no "hissing".

no it is not normal. I get the hissing sound until i turn off the puck(i.e. I touch it). The hissing with power on appears to happen with most computers and speakers, until the speakers are turned off.

Your source is doing that. Try plugging it in a different device. Hiss gone, guaranteed. (Late answer, but might help future inquirers).

It depends on how for your speakers are apart I have my center speaker turned down to match my other speakers on my computer because they a little closer together I hope this helped.

My husband's computer is about 12 ft away and he said "When it does make noise, it is at such a low level I can tune it out easily. Kinda like "white noise". Most of the time I can't hear a thing."

I have tried and no, is not a good option. The frecuencies are not the same and won't have a good quality. Sounds empty. I don't know if it damages the amp because i only did it a few times just to try it out and had no damage at all but i guess that if you do it frequently surely will cause damage to the speaker.

Thanks for your help. This device is certainly very affordable, do you think my desktop speakers sound quality will suffer from running it through this?

I have these speakers couple inches away from my computer monitor and everything is fine. The only problem I've had is putting my phone too close to the speakers which sometimes causes static. Nothing out of the ordinary.

I am going through the same problem that you have and listen to the same type of music (classical music and folk music) and have been told the same thing. I have a friend who has the same system as me and I used one of his speakers in place of my one malfunctioning one and I don't hear the hiss anymore. I'm in the middle of a troubleshooting argument with their staff right now, and I fear that they would be wasting my time and theirs in insisting it is the amp in the back.

Well this truly is a very important point/question/answer. I live in a town house and I need speakers that wont be heard by neighbors, this is the true audiophile's lifestyle problem. What you have said about the sound being heard more in the listening room than in the entire house would actually be a good marketing argument for Martin Logan to promote this speakers. Ill test this out. Thanks guys.

Not at all...you may try to place these speakers away from any others appliances to test and see is there any more hiss. If you still have the same problem check your cables and ground. Good luck !

It your wifi connection is strong enough and the area is small enough for the speaker to fill it, it should be OK. You might have to crank up the volume depending on the ambient noise. In an open area, I doubt you will be satisfied with the volume, unless you just want it for background.

I have not eperienced any hiss. I would give a hiss to Dell support however. SAB
