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?

Well, I'm still working on a good setup to start mixing with monitor-wise. I know that some of you are probably sick of hearing me ask monitor questions. I know I need to choose something and just learn how to mix on it. But I do want to make sure I start on the best foot I can start on. Right now low-end is a problem - I just can't hear it well enough to make good decisions.
