bassbug · 27th August 2004

I'm currently evaluating a pair of Adam S2A monitors and have noticed some low level hiss coming from the tweeters when no signal is passing through them. This has been observed when all of the normal noise sources such as CRT monitors, etc. are off. All controls are flat with the exception of the input gain which is set to a notch below flat. Is this normal due to the electronics/tweeter design? It's something that's not noticable from normal listening position but as you get closer, it becomes appararent.

Thanks,

Todd.
