These speakers put out hiss/noise when hooked up to a mixer. I took them back to GC and tested; same issue. All factory settings. Is that normal?

Well some noise is normal and that seems to be what you have going on. If your near a computer or router or any fluorescent lights you will get some EM interference. And that is what it sounds like in your video. You can buy a cheap noise gate and set the threshold to say -75 db and that will clean all that up.

My experience is that the noise is not normal. I haven't had any issues with the speaker at all.

You could get by with a cheaper model. If it was me I'd buy the Behringer MDX 4600. That one is a 4 channel that is good if you run subs independent of your mains. My gate is built into my Behringer x32 pa. But as I understand out board gates they run from your pa main out into the gate and from the gate to your speakers. That allows the gate to clamp down on any noise prior to hitting your speakers.There are a tone of videos I'd bet on YouTube that can teach you how to set up the gate to work the way you need it to based on what music you are playing.

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

I would say to first research what kind of stock amp you have, along with the correct amount of wattage your current speakers handle aka "RMS"... These speakers are super clear but need the correct amount of power amped to them to sound bright in the highs and clear on the mids

Dear Kyle. It's a pleasure to help you. About your question I will say that the sub working properly and these speakers are designed to resist distortion sound. For this reason, when you hear a song, you should raise the speaker volume so you can account for the difference. The levels of the sub must be the maximum and just can listen the real sound when the volume is high. I hope this review helps you better understand how great these speakers are. Regards Tomas

I have had this unit for almost a year in live application and have not experienced any unusual noise or hiss. I am sure if the gain structure is wrong any unit could have the potential for noise. hope that's what you wanted to hear

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. :-(

Dieckmann, you have not mentioned what watt are you speakers. i have the same problem too but my speakers are like 40W. i am usuing my old speakers till i get a deal on a new 80-100W speakers.so maybe if you upgrade the speaker is you have low Watt ones you will get good sound at 30-40 level.hope this helps

are you using any kind of channel mixer? Or are you going straight into a powered speaker? I find that when you don't use a mixer, you have less control. If you are using a mixer, try lowering the bass to near 0. That being said, once you have a grip on the mic, it shouldn't be making noises, if you're getting noises when being passed around from hand to hand, then all I can say is that you'll get that with almost any mic this price range.

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.

I don't experience a hiss, but it's common if attaching speakers to internal audio cards due to electrical interference. Some computers are designed to handle this better. Similar to Rob, my MBP does that when attached to an external monitor. My PC has no problem. If you keep experiencing hissing problems and it bothers you, consider a USB sound card.

Negative. They are passive speakers, and require additional amplification. The mixer Board most likely (some specialty ones might be able to) does not have enough juice to power speakers.

I'm running mine on my stock OEM amp and haven't had any problems. I may not be the best person to answer this since I'm not putting a lot of power through them.

If u r running ur door speakers off an amp... Aftermarket or factory, my guess is the issue lies in the amp. If there is no amp for those speakers, I'd recommend rewiring the speakers with fresh wiring... If that fails as well, do a warranty replacement... I'm assuming I have gone through the programmable settings of course. If u muted the speakers... That could be ur issue too.

Check that all wires are fully connected. Other wise it would probably be something internal in which case yeah I would return it. Other thing would be speakers but if you only noticed it with the new amp then there's your issue.

I also agree with the checking the cables but here's another thing to look at. This kind of interference or feedback only happens to me when I don't turn everything on in the right order. That is computer on, Pioneer DDJ-SR on, open Serato, turn on subwoofer (passing the Eris 8's via the sub (Temblor 10), the Eris 8's on. No feedback, although there is very minute hissing. If I turn the speakers on first all kinds of hissing and feedback. That's been my experience. Not sure how you're using these but Hope that points you towards resolution.

I had this issue too. I resolved it by swapping out the speaker wire. I bought a $10 roll of Pyle 16 gauge speaker wire and havent had a problem since - that was 2 years ago.

To echo some of the other sentiments, there could be multiple causes for the hiss so I'm not sure if it will be a fix or not.I would test with another mic (if you could maybe borrow one from somebody) just to test that option.The thought that comes to me with your question though is that if you are willing to spend money to fix the issue, why not buy a new mic that doesn't need to be adjusted? That seems like a better choice since the dB adjustment seems to be what is causing your hiss.
