hissing noise from studio

[elementsrtyte]

so here's the scenario.
i used to have just two rokit 5s directly connected with two mogami trs balanced 1/4" cables from the speakers into my audio interface. and my audio interface connected usb into my computer. there was no hissing under this situation.

I recently just purchased the krk rp-10s sub (which may i add is definitely worth it for anyone who just has the 5's), and connected my two 5's to it via livewire xlr-xlr cables. I know those aren't great but they are shielded. I connect the sub to my audio interface with the two mogami cables (trs 1/4").

So thats my setup right. Let me add that I have a laptop.

Whenever I have my charger plugged in, I hear an obnoxious hissing sound. Its at a constant volume and doesn't go away when I play songs or anything. Even if I turn down the volume on the interface, the same constant hissing occurs.

However, when I unplug my charger, the hissing magically goes away! What's going on? I tried both connecting the charger from directly into a wall outlet, and using a power surge, and both produced the same hiss.

If I get a power conditioner, will that solve my problem?

I'm pretty sure its not the cables cause I can get rid of the hiss by just unplugging the charger, so any info on what to do would be greatly appreciatied! Thankss.

This really si killing me cause I have to turn off my speakers everytime i'm not listening to a song cause the hissing gives me a headache and I hear its not good for the speakers. let me know your thoughts and advice!

Ill keep looking. You may just need to get a power conditioner, but Ill check some more for ya.


Also You may want to disconnect any other electric devices in the room you have your connection to. They may be interfering with you audio connection making the hiss.

oh good looks on that post. wait are you saying that a power conditioner willl most likely fix my problem?

i was browsin that soundonsound forumand I found out that a good fix is a DI passive box. I'm not too acquainted with them, so if anyones got some input on what they doand how they work and if they will be the right thing for me, thatd be great.

Have you checked for snakes or cats?
They can both hiss... Causing complete pandamonium during your mix..

This reminds me I gotta post a thread on hum problems.

yo ya i got a power conditioner and it worked. actually i got the monster plug that actually directly plugs into the wall, so i'd defiitely recommend that for anyone that doesn't have a rack. and i've seen that furman makes a cheap 22 dollar block strip, so try that too for people who are having the sameproblem.
