❤ thanks for the vid, just about to purchase these in a few days... cheers from 🇨🇭 Switzerland 🙏🏼 god bless & keep it up

That first sound is a ground loop issue solved with an ifi defender. Next, id suggest getting a professional power strip with individual channels to plug everything into etc. All that hiss, cpu noise, ground loop junk stopped immediately with those two things. 🙏🙏🔥🔥🤌🤌💪💪

about the noise issues: make sure you ground correctly your gear, it is not as simple as it seems and you are too close from the monitors, this close you'll hear hiss from way more expensive stuff also.

I had the HS8 pair delivered a couple of days ago and they sound wicked-good. I used balanced cables (the speakers are on stands), and dont get any interference at all. I do have a slight noise on cubase but havent trouble shot it yet. Mainly the noise is from an Alesis Strike Pro SE. I,ll check the loudness and stuff. Thanks.

Tried the "Loudness Equalization" setting. What it does is it makes quiet sounds louder to match the loudest sounds, like a compressor. If you're looking for accurate sounding audio, it's best to have that off.

My dude, you really need a DAC. Consider looking at a DAC / Pre amp stack. Schiit Audio Magni / Modi stack will make a night and day difference! Worked wonders for me

so helpfull thanx you

Use Fluid ds5 or 1 inch Soundrise dome would be the best for those

Yeah, these are great, and just on another level when you add the Yamaha HS subwoofer

Hi! = ) Any idea howto shield the monitors from Radio signals?? My hs7 takes up so much radio signals... its like 3 differents sounds only on electric cabel to the monitor! Cant work with them right now because of this! tried to tape the ground just to see if it was ground loop issue but no difference. Will it help with aluminum silver tape inside all over? or what? Im desperate! Thanks!

Never had a hiss or other problem with HS5 even with unbalanced guitar cables. But I'm using a laptop not desktop.

Your sound quality on your computer doesn't come just from the interface you use, but also the sound card. Sound Blaster make some very good sound cards (signal to noise = 105 dB) from $60-$120 that also have software to help with your interface and recordings and even playback.

If you are getting sound in the monitors it's best to get a power conditioner and plug the speakers into that it will remove the noise

What kind of cables and interface are you using? Are they balanced or unbalanced?

thank you! I make music under "Deansy" and built a home studio in Florida

You can get the HS8S. This is the fitting Subwoofer for it. On the Subwoofer you can do an Lowcut so the HS5/7/8 will no longer play low frequencies. So the cone can fully concente on the mids and it will sound more clean.

what's the song playing at 12:00 ?

The hiss and creaky sound has little to do with shielding the signal honestly. Most of the times it is the result of computer parts being improperly grounded, and, in some cases, not being grounded to a grounded outlet. I made an addition in grounding my GPU and motherboard compared to what is ordinarily achieved with standard mounting by soldering a wire to a ring and put one of those teethed rings under it, so it would dig into the motherboard's grounding layer well. This wire had a Y-split to another ring that in the same way goes to my videocard and is screwed against the PCB of that as well, so that I'm not relying on grounding the GPU through the PCI-E slot backplate to the case, and from the case to the power supply (I am fairly sure this voids warranty on the GPU though). The end of this wire also had a ring soldered to it and went to a part on my power supply that I intentionally damaged (to get rid of the insulating powder coating) just like I partially scuffed up the casing, and screwed this ring between the power supply and case, and most of my problems where gone from that point on. I think that most of the problems in grounding stem from the fact that in order for a ground to properly work, it needs to be solidly connect, and not rely on multiple screw and case-to-case connections that are just metal on metal. It's why you see business-model computers equipped with at least 1, and sometimes 2 deliberate grounding connections between the motherboard and a crimped on part on the case, or towards the powersupply. Little word of warning: XLR is not balanced per se. XLR can be unbalanced, just like a TRS plug can be balanced or unbalanced.

How can I actually improve the bass frequencies of these monitors though?

do you know about the JBL 305P MkII 5-inch Powered Studio Monitor compared to these?

remove the limiter circuit. youtube it, i did it to my hs7s and it was night and day. People go through more component changes which is abit too high tech for me but yeah if you can use a soldering iron properly id suggest it for anyone that wants to use these speakers long term.

did these come with stands?

what size are your speakers? I notice there are 5", 6.5", 8"

I just want you to know that I’m making the exact same upgrade from the 3.5s to the hs5s bro what a coincidence

Recently just got my HS7's and they have that same issue even when using balanced TRS 1/4" to male XLR cables to my Mackie ProFX6v3. I've checked my connection with the Belkin Power Strip Surge Protector and it says it grounded but I'm not really sure what else to do but return them. Maybe it has something to do with the USB hub I'm using for my interface but it's a Belkin usb hub so I'm not sure what's happening.

I checked the playback options and my enhancements are missing. I use Scarlet 2i2, my driver is updated so I don't know why it's missing.

the onboard realtek sound you use is very worse in hiss. also such speakers should be tweeter at ear high the possition you have i guess all speakers sound same worse. tilting up speaker do only work a little better if you tilt the head down much that you look on table.

I dont think your correct on the shielding, the 1 band means mono and the 2 bands mean stereo, that's it, nothing more it does not indicate if the wire is shielded. I'm not going to put a stereo lead into a mono input.

it's called floor noise

You will not calibrate the sound correctly... trust me

your speakers are quality its just you hearing too much internal amp noise because you've placed your speakers too close to you. level your speakers to your ears and position them 40 to 50 inches or more away from you in a triangular mix pattern by getting dedicated speaker stands, and the rest is history. it will improve your mix too you will hear frequencies better and also avoid ear damage, health is wealth.
