this is a burning question. i have an old studiomaster diamond 16:2 and i've had it for years.

i've noticed though that it outputs alot of hiss. i've always tried to block it from my mind but do you think it IS the mixer.

is buzzing related to electrical fields and hiss to the mixer (ie. seperate)?

are there any other checks because i'm fed up with it now and i'll be forced to change it.

Solo each input and try to listen if some instruments, which are attached to it make more noise than others.

I had Soundtracks Topaz Macro Plus and even I can say that it was much more noisier than my new 01v. However I got JV-1080, which gaves a lot of noise but disabling channels when they are not playing will help me in that (along gates in each input too =)

You can also check if there's some electric wires or gadgets that makes somekind of electro magnetic fields that makes noise. Monitor is a good example of that.

hey influx. you ever notice how much
hiss you get from the virus when you
have an input or vocoder patch
selected? even when there's no
input it's insane!

hell...virus hisses a bit anyway! but yeah..with filter input patches its pretty noisy

dont use the vocoder much...

whats wierd is...and this is exactly the same on my E4...the extra outs get progressively noisier?

my E4 mains are pretty quiet, then it goes to the subs and they get more and more hiss. hmmmm

what OS are you running influx? The earlier EOS4s had a bug with the outs, making em noisy and stuff. Thats said, mine are still a little hissy.

4.02? now hang on..the OS caused noisy outputs?
