i'm hearing radio channels out of my new sub...please help identify interference

Posted by Philbertt (A) on December 6, 2001 at 07:11:19

I just received my subwoofer, a Velodyne fsx-12 mk II, last night and noticed when I got really close to it, I could make out a buzzing (similar to listening to a weak radio station) and what sounded like the music from a radio station. the volume of this interference didn't increase proportionally with the gain setting on the sub...it was always quiet, but the buzzing was noticeable.

I am using the older Radio Shack Theater Gold interconnects which I never noticed a problem with in other applications. Could these be the culprits? Can you recommend a “budget” interconnect that would eliminate interference?

All components are plugged into a Belkin surge protector, but I don't believe it provides power conditioning. Could the source of my problem be RF in the power line? If so, what is the solution? Do the Monster conditioners do anything? I'd like to spend as little as possible on the conditioner, but at what level do you actually get results?

Thanks for your help and suggestions,
Phil
