How much noise does the amp create? I'm looking for a PA amp that needs to be very quiet in a small room.

Everything depends on setting..bit I have only used it for outdoor events. No complaints

The amp is very quiet, there is no hum, I must iterate that all cables have to be the right resistance value on any amplifier no matter what brand you use just to make sure that all hum causing factors are eliminated.This amp will serve you fine and for the price I don,t think you will match it anywhere>

This is a noisy(double fans) amp. Don't get this one if you are seeking a quiet unit.

Is there phantom power?" don't know what that means, it is a powerful amp and doesn't make any hissing noise completely quiet when not in use. on the internet it says PA system that does have 48V phantom power,

I am using the amp with the Yamaha 775 pre outs, and it is not louder but cleaner, especially at higher volumes.

It's noticeable, but not loud.(except when it first powers up for about 60 secs). I keep mine in a seperate room, because my other gear is silent compared to it, but it's not nearly as loud as a hp or cisco server.

It is quite loud, I regularly use this amp to jam with a drummer in a small echoey location, and it holds its own in clean and distorted settings. As far as a live performance goes, this amp can handle most small/medium sized shows.

Maybe, it depends on what you mean by 'crazy noise'. In my case, I was playing my computer through a receiver/amp and it started off ok but then there was a feedback hum that go louder. I put this between the two (without connecting the other 'curly wires' and it was perfect. For prox $12 why not give it a try, if it fails it might wind up being useful in the future.

I use a beringer preamp picked up for $40, the hum went away, it has to do with noisy power from the audio source, not the amplifier.

it will sound good. louder than one might think. i love the little guy. i've had amps for way more $ and be equal or less than good. the el84 plus the 12x7 yadda yadda is the same as a Vox. A class too. sounds like a beatles amp, but raunchier. problems... the cheap ass plugs electric hook up thingsy is eggshellish. cut corners somehow i guess. if you can afford the speaker cab, i'd go for it. the speaker is voiced for the amp and breaks up when driven at the right time. lovely.

sounds like fully distorted 1 watt, sound, or about 60-75 dB A level with soundmeterabout 1 meter away.. it is loud enough for small group...in a room. you can reducelevel of built in distortion, by going lower in vol.

The power supply itself dose not make any noise, but I'm don't know if it would induce a harmonic noise into your stereo equipment. Especially if you are using amplifiers.

I have had this unit for almost a year in live application and have not experienced any unusual noise or hiss. I am sure if the gain structure is wrong any unit could have the potential for noise. hope that's what you wanted to hear

Sure, why not? I would recommend it in a smaller room due to its cfm rating. Just remember it is louder than most reviews state. The noise has not been a problem for me, I wanted something with style, not all white plastic.

Its not loud at all - I have it in my living room where my TV is as well and it barely makes more than a bit of a very light hum when it's running (I use the auto setting so it kicks on periodically when it needs to and usually in a low mode although once in a while higher). I can barely just hear it when there is nothing on like a tv or radio and sometimes miss it all together if I am focused on what I am doing. Can't hear it at all with the TV on.

( awaiting my mini amp to recharge ) and have used my phone ( note 2 ) just to power these units descent volume ..in public you will struggle without an amp at home med low noise you will be ok .causal listening is not a problem . if you listen to favorites albums it will be

I have it in an office waiting area setting. It does not seem to make much noise, its actually pretty quiet. Hope it helps

You could def blow the noise off the roof of a small coffee shop. And worst case scenario you can Microphone the amp into a PA system and get as loud as you want. Or use the output line to connect an even bigger Amp Cab.

There are numerous, very good small amps Out There: from Pig Nose to - the one I own - a Schiffler. A speaker will not be a good choice - choose amplification,.
