Description
An active monitor does not require external amplification, as amplifiers are housed within the cabinet. The input signal entering the monitor passes through the crossover network first, after which each band is separately amplified before being sent to the relevant drivers. ... This would be called a “bi-amp” system.

Rokit 5, Rubicon 5, or anything else for indie/folk

I heard the Rokit 5's at GC and thought they had a high roll off that would be very troublesome. However I heard through forums and reviews that the Rubicons have a low roll off thats annoying.

The music i'm mixing is folky/indie stuff. Mostly acoustic guitars, drums, bass, electric guitar, synth, various percussion.

Wharfedale 8.2 active monitors hiss when nothing playing?

Hi,
Upon several recommendations from this and other forums I bought a pair of Wharfdale 8.2 Diamond pro active monitor speakers.

Ive just plugged the power in, turned them on and without even plugging in a music cable yet I can hear a hiss (on 1/4 volume, which is quiet).

This is extremly frustrating, does anyone have any ideas why this may be happening?
