I know it's old but here it is you're not alone !
I'm french and i bought a Nordstage 3 two weeks ago, and i have this problem, when i play with my headphones, i hear this white (pink?) noise, and i try to eliminate this hiss with the EQ of the Stage. I select 8khz mid with the left potentiometer and i try to put the mid down, with -4 -6 db it's more acceptable and if you use the quick option Bright on piano (or others samples) you need to put down again -8db or -10db...

I think it's unacceptable for a keyboard at this price.

If anyone find a solution or have this issue, come here please and we can discuss about it.

- Output Gain to maximum, Headphones plugged into headphone output.
- Choose Imperial Grand (2nd Piano in the list). This is the one, where the amount of the noise is remarkable. String resonance on, Pedal noise on, Soft release off
- Press and hold down sustain pedal (I am using the single pedal that was included within the box)
- Repetitively press e.g. Middle C (C4), keeping the sustain Pedal down.

You can hear the background noise increasing the longer you repeat the key strokes. When stopping hitting the key while still having the sustain pedal fully down, you can hear the sound fading out and with it, the noise decrases as well.

Can anybody also reproduce it? Or is it just me and my headphones?
The interesting thing is, that I realized that strange background noise as soon as I started playing the first time right after unboxing. The noise is clearly connected with the key stroke and is cumulated when playing extensively with the sustain pedal down.

Thanks a lot for any replies!
