I suspect it's because cheap shitty amplifiers are making this 17 kHz tone. JBL cut costs everywhere they can but their 7 series monitors are still ridiculously overpriced.

The 3 series do not have this retarded 17 kHz tone and I think they are great value, but the hiss can be a problem.
Any anons who own LSR305 or 305p mkii?

they are jewing out on everything but as I said you only hear hiss if you're too close. be that $2k 7 series or $200 5 inchers they still hiss and require you to place them in at appropriate distance. good monitors overall, especially if someone has an untreated room - unlike yamahas, they can be tuned to +2db on bass while japs can only go down in that department.

In a dead quiet room you will hear them no matter what, I don't know why these people who claim you need to be close don't mention that.

I have a pair of 306p mkii
How do I kill the hiss? It wasn't there until I moved into a new place.
Jayden Long
maybe it's ground loop noise?

Quested sr8 or bust

Anything I can do? It's the exact same setup otherwise.
Julian Reed
I bought these for my turn table a few years ago they sound fine I don't remember any hissing.

Try plug it and pc in different power outlets
I think some older houses might lack grounding and putting tape over the ground pin is a method for blocking noise as well.

You can get "i" version without shady jbl amps
