Just bought some rp5 today, i've noticed a hiss from the speakers when up close to them.

I unplugged the leads from my pc and still get the hiss.

I've got a set of alesis mkII and I can't hear anywhere near as much hiss.

Anybody experience the same with there's?

Can anybody else test there krks and see if they are the same?

Cheers

I just got a pair of rp8 G2s.
One has a hiss so loud I have to take it back, its not just his but its crackling and popping.
The other has a more subtle hiss but still not very good for a pair of speakers in its price range.

I've got a very slight hiss from the tweeter on the left speaker.

I had the major hiss issue with one that is being returned as soon as i get a chance, but the other speaker seems to have developed a hiss (was dead quiet when i got it).
I haven't even had it on more than 30 minutes in total... wtf?

Are most studio monitors dead quiet when there is no input and the power is on?

I would think so. My ADAM A7's are practically dead quiet. You can hear a faint hiss if you put your ear up to the tweeter though. But it's not something you can hear at normal mix position.

my krk rokit6 are fine i do not here any hiss unless like eldritch you put your ear right up to it.

Took them back and compared to another set ( rp8's i think), and they were the same.

Must be my bat like hearing lol!

So all sorted now! great monitors as well but might upgrade to the 8's lol!!

i just noticed something about the "hiss", at least on mine

It's only present when my lamp is on, so i suppose it could be some sort of electrical interference - not that i know a lot about that.
