I have a pair of Samson Resolv665a's that are treating me really well. There's just a bit of hiss when the volume is turned up. Is this normal or is it a problem that can be solved? Admittedly, I'm using an RCA connection to my soundcard...Would balanced XLRs get rid of the hiss? |

The hiss when turning up the volume can be either the internal noise of the speaker's amplifiers and/or the noise generated by the card itself.
How much(if any) hiss you have with your monitors just turned on in full gain and nothing connected except the power supply? If there's no hiss in this case, then it's the soundcard-RCA combo and XLRs would help i think, depending always on the soundcard's quality-noise level output.
 A friend told me once that the biggest mistake we make is that we believe we live, when in reality we are sleeping in the waiting room of life. |

its usual to have very very low hiss on amplified speakers
on the dynaudio you can hear it only from 1 cm , the fan of the computer is louder x10... so its not bothers me and i didnt even notice until a thread came up..

well actually chemogen asked about hiss on high volume if i got it correct.
the low volume noise which elad is talking of wont become louder with the volume turned up.

i had the samsons till a month ago, and used them with balanced jacks (1/4) and had no hiss at all - unless i turned it up to ABSURD, listener-killer levels.
rca cables tend to be noisy unless they have a real nice build-up. but also check out for other noise sources on your rig, like power cables, crt monitors, etc.
and some advice: the samson has a hi-end tail thats hard to be tammed. keep that in mind.
