I'd believe that. I think some of the on board stuff's outputs are cleaning up somewhat, but record from a mic once hooked to the input jack. I never tried an analog headset on my Turtle Beach card, but would think the USB headsets would come out of a test better, assuming that the microphones themself are of similar quality in both.

Its also fallen to my knowledge that the people reviewing these speakers may have noisy sound cards? Anything's possible in a Windows machine <smile>, my set of Altec Lansing Expressionist Ultra speakers are connected to my Airport Express which seems to have a very nice output with next to no background noise so perhaps that's another explanation as to why some people get background his through the speaker system whilst others don't.

I've been thinking your question over again hence this extra message on the subject and for the life of me I can't work out why this system would have any background noise or hiss in it of its own accord simply because the system uses 5 digital amps to control it.

Dane,

Some reviewers report the Altec Lansing Expressionist Ultra produces a
noticeable background hiss.  Have you experienced this?  Why do you
suppose some users have this problem and others don’t?

I don't think they make the JBL On-Tour speakers any more.

Work with what?  I have only had the control 2.4g speakers which are RF
speakers, one is active with it's own amplifier and the other is passive. I haven't heard of the "On-Tour" speakers. I can only say that I am mightily
impressed with the quality of JBL and when the day comes to replace my
Mission 735 floor standing speakers, I will spend the necessary money to get a high end pair of JBL speakers as a replacement. The Control 2.4g speakers are a perfect match for working with my PC. Incidentally, they also have an input for line in so you don't have to use the RF feature and also it has an output for a sub woofer and I've linked up a 10 inch warfdale subwoofer to
work with them but if they were to be used as monitors for editing then
there is no need for a subwoofer.  Walter.

Would the JBL On-tour speakers work?

Hi.  Why not try the JBL Control 2.4g cordless speakers.  The pair I have
are phenomenal and I love listening to them, I never get listener fatigue.
They should cost around $210 and if you try them out you won't be sorry,
they are very small but you will listen to the power and volume that comes from them and then feel their size and disbelieve what you are hearing could
possibly come from speaker so small.  They also come with wall mounting
brackets which allows you to adjust their angle in relationship to your
listening position.  Walter.

Subject: Powered Speakers for Editing Audio

I have a computer at which I mostly edit field recordings I have made
and capture and edit audio streams.  The speakers I had died and I am
looking for a pair of powered speakers that have a neutral sound that
I can use to edit, mix and make spoken word recordings.  I want to
hear quality audio rather than the crappie speakers at the computer
store. Yet, I don’t need the fancy $800 studio monitors either.

I would appreciate any suggestions for affordable, but good sounding
powered speakers for editing spoken word recordings.

Kelly
