Hiss through IEM

[Aaron_D]

I am having a problem with hiss is my IEM. I'm using the Shure PSM200 system. I am receiving two sends.

1. My monitor mix.
2. Click (Boss db-90)

My monitor mix is perfect. Everything sounds great...no hiss at all. But the other channel with the click is Very hissy. The hiss is ridiculous. I am getting the signal from the headphone out of the db-90.

Any ideas?

PSM200 is a mono system. Mono inputs and you're running a stereo signal into it?

Try a stereo to mono cable and turn the db volume down and turn up PSM input.

Might just be the quality of the db 90 is not really hi tech gear.

I agree the BOSS gizmo is kicking it out due to it not being a very hi-fi device. You might try using a Rapco LTI-Blox to convert the Hi-Z/Semi-Amplified output of the BOSS gizmo and it will properly mono sum it into a Lo-Z balanced signal, plus it has a variable pad rotary pot on it as well to back down signals that are too hot. Might solve your issue.

Seriously? Is the db-90 that bad? I've seen posts in other forums with people using it as a live click, but no mention of this hiss.
