In Reply to: i'm hearing radio channels out of my new sub...please help identify interference posted by Philbertt on December 06, 2001 at 07:11:19:

when i got home last night i unplugged the interconnects, turned the sub on, and the buzz/faint radio was still present.

adjusting the volume knob had no effect on the volume of the buzz.

i disconnected the cable coax from the surge protecter which had no effect.

i unplugged the velodyne, moved it away from the window and to about the midpoint of the wall, plugged it into a different surge protector and again, the same buzz at the same level was present.

it seems that either the power line is the problem, or something internal to the sub is picking up the RFI. It is really only noticable when nothing is playing through the system and you are VERY close to the sub.

is it time to try using a panamax or monster line conditioner?

thanks for your help,
phil
