Do Studio Monitors Hiss

Fantastic for the studio monitors.

I replaced my active monitors with the ELAC speakers and a Yamaha integrated amplifier. Since the ELAC has coaxial arrangement of tweeter + midrange, I felt it would work fine for near field listening. I'm very happy with the result. With nothing playing, the combination of amp with passive speakers has no background hiss. My old monitors had audible hiss and non-defeatable auto-shutoff unless the playback was kept sufficiently loud. I'm using an RME ADI-2 DAC feeding the Yamaha amp. I chose ELAC's Satin White with Oak Sides to escape the all-black look of my old monitors.

Better than I expected. A couple of reviewers mentioned a constant hiss. I cannot hear any hiss. I'm using a pair of these monitors with my iMac to digitize vinyl. I use a Korg DAC, DSD capable, and a passive volume controller. The Korg has RCA outputs. I heard noises when using an RCA to 1/8 cable from the Korg to the volume controller. Then I changed to an RCA to XLR cable and the noise is gone. I use XLR cables from the volume controller to the monitors.

I like the way these studio monitors sound. I purchased several pairs.

Seems to be a good value. I use it for my project studio monitors.

This are monitors. Do not expect Dr Dre bass in them. The sound quality its just PERFECT. Very clear sound. More of a balanced or neutral eq. Very good for studio monitoring, live perfomance, and why not, street music.

I already was using some of these for monitors in my studio, but I find them really useful for miscellaneous use such as a table for a laptop.

I saw and heard it to my friend's studio,, awesome studio monitors

These are great Studio Monitors and can be used for entertainment purposes too. I have used them during tracking sessions in the studio, they are comfortable and sound just as good or better than other headphones in this price range. And the replaceable cables make it a really sweet deal.

Man, I tell you these little studio monitors are so detailed for such a small speaker. You can definitely put in quick Studio Work with a laptop they are very quiet! The Bluetooth works great and they get pretty loud for NFSM'S!!!! Trust me you won't be disappointed! Just 299.99 is a no freakin brainer!!!!
