Does this mixer have the hiss issue if you use it as an output audio interface (computer > mixer > DI) for live situations?

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).

the reason for the hiss is the high gain amplifier in the original variant of this model. when you sent your amp into their factory, they replaced it with a unit of slightly lower power [not enough for you to notice, but enough that it probably effects the actual specs slightly regarding RMS/Wattage and all that] - therefore less hiss when you crank the speakers and have no sound playing. When I had my set [amazing speakers by the way] - the hiss was only noticable if a) there was nothing playing and b) you crank it far past what I consider reasonable close range listening levels. these things go LOUD far before you hit anywhere near 9 on the dial. still, some will prefer the newer variant. the reason for the hiss is the high gain amplifier in the original variant of this model. when you sent your amp into their factory, they replaced it with a unit of slightly lower power [not enough for you to notice, but enough that it probably effects the actual specs slightly regarding RMS/Wattage and all that] - therefore less hiss when you crank the speakers and have no sound playing.

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. :-(

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.

What does audio input mixing unit do in this case? Is it for resolving the time lag?Would something cheaper like this Behringer MX400 4-Channel Mixer do the trick too?Thank you!

It will not be as noiseless as a higher-end pre-amp or A/D interface, nor will it have as much gain as a dedicated pre-amp. It's a more fast-and-dirty solution than a home studio centerpiece. Chose instead a dedicated USB audio interface if you need studio quality, but if you're just doing youtube voiceovers, it'll sound fine.

No hum. I've owned this unit for over six months. All outputs, including the headphones, have been dead silent. Have you checked for ground loops? -John

I have been using a pair of these speakers live for about 6-7 years now. They are not noisey at all either with my mackie mixer or my newer Behringer mixer. I suspect your mixer is introducing the noise.

Yes this unit is great for live speech or music and despite others saying it has a loud or slight distracting hum, mine has absolutely no hum at all. I replaced the power supply with an old laptop power supply I had laying around the house and the hum went away. The power supply is not bad that comes with the unit, it's just insufficient (not really rated for this unit).

Sure, but since the impedance may not be matched you may experience muted bass or other distortions. If one computer's volume is turned up really loud you also risk burning out one of the computers' aux ports.

Hi, make sure you have good quality cables, & try separating your mixer & your speaker power sources....You may be inducing a ground loop... -MT

I pull mine through a mixer, into my interface and into my DAW. The only thing is is that you need to do this with mono cables otherwise your output will be terrible. I love how the volcas sound, so any effort you put into this will be well worth it. PS; I had low output until I switched to mono cables.

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.

The DI box works on the input side of your mixer or amp. Whether you have speakers connected should make no difference.

There isn't a line out or DI output built in, so I'd have to say no, it won't work going direct to your console...unless you run one of the speaker outs (there are two, and you can select 16, 8 or 4 ohms resistance) into an attenuator that also has a DI built in...that way, you would provide the needed resistance for the amp (so you don't kill it) and be able to go direct while cutting the speaker output and keeping the tonal coloring of the amp. Hope this helps!

I have the EQ between my Carver C-1 Pre-Amp and Carver M-1.0t Amp. When the EQ is in bypass, it's perfectly quiet. When it is engaged, I have a noticeable hiss. The control level is very good. I have KEF 103.2 speakers and the level adjustments EQ my listening space very well.

I don't use AUX input but just tried this and have the same hiss. With Disc, BT or USB I don't have it.
