Our System One measures Repeater at 90 dB SNR (A weighted). There is noise but it is at a low level. It is easier to perceive because it is more of a hum kind of sound than white noise or hiss. It comes from scanning the LEDs. (I'll stop there because I'm not an Engineer). It is in the noise floor so if your gains are optimized everything should be fine and you would not notice. Here is a breakdown of what to expect. If something is different than what's described below you might have a faulty room, setup, process, or Repeater. Generally across the in/outs the SNR is around 90 dB (A weighted) so if you record a loop with optimized gains (red clip light flickers occasional) the noise floor should be at an acceptable level for such a device. i.e. your ears would hurt from the level of the actual loop if you turned it up loud enough to easily hear the noise floor. There is a very small "chirping" sound in the right channel when playing off the CFC. This is also buried in the noise floor and will only become a problem if gains are not optimized. This sound is not present on the digital output or when playing from internal memory. The sound is also not present in the .WAV file. It is a hardware issue. Again, it is in the noise floor at around 90 db. If you want a quiet track in your loop then record it loud and then turn the track level down. The headphones are noisier than the main outputs. The digital out is the cleanest signal (measures at 94 db). Repeater only outputs line level so if you are going straight into Repeater then a guitar amp you will have noise issues. Repeater wants to be in the FX loop so you can record your lovely tone into the loop. If you don't have one you will have to mess around with gains and levels to try and minimize added noise. You could also try to go from line to instrument level on the output of Repeater. Contact our technical support and see if he has any ideas on how to do this. support@eelctrixpro.com. I hope this helps. IMO Repeater has very low level noises but would not be considered noisy.
