8030B White Noise

Youngling Viestejä: 1 Liittymispäivä: 16.10.2015 Viimeisimmät viestit
Dear All,

I bought recently a pair of 8030b which is connected with balanced XLR to TRS to my focusrite 2i4 interface.
The fist thing I've noticed (apart from they are awesome monitors) both of them equally have some white noisy sound even in standby mode, (which increases as a raise the volume). It's also picking up some noise of the laptop which I believe a common issue.
I've tried a few things:
First : I cut back of the volume on the speakers so it's not that sensitive for the input signal and so the noise much lower.
However I've also tried to remove the XLR cable and they still have some noise I can hear around, let's say 30cm from the monitors maximum, checked with different power sources, too..same.
I tested my previous monitors (KRK rokit 5) and it doesn't give any noise by themselves.
Is that something normal I shouldn't be worry about?
The shop said I've bought it from maybe worth to buy a power conditioner. What do you think about this?
I'm really curious, any suggestion welcome!

Thanks.
Kind Regards,
Spet

Hi,

That is perfectly normal behaviour.
