which outputs do you use i which setups.
No, it Does hiss (constantly) even when plugged into another mixer but you don't really hear it. I imagine that it's because of the fact that the 2nd mixer is providing an extra volume stage and the signal to noise ratio is descent. I've found that If you turn up the volume on the 2nd mixer loud enough to hear the hiss prominantly then your audio Volume is going to be blasting. However, having your monitors running straight out of the zero, I've found that you hear the hiss constantly (and even with all levels at zero). It's wierd.
I've tried with all of the outputs (well I only had one xlr cable to test the main outs with but I still got loud hiss through the one monitor).
I mainly just run out of the quarter inch booth outs but like I said before, I had been running out of the rca record outs but noticed a large volume dip.
The noise thing is very lame but will not hinder you if your using it live. It will hinder you if you're trying to use one of these as a desk in your home studio though.
Now, the high pitched buzzing and sudden audio drop out glitch that I had occur on my macbook the other day? THAT will hinder-the-shit out of a live performance and thats why I personally won't be going back to it again for playing out.
