I have a pair of monitor speakers and for some reason the one of the right picks up a radio station that no one should ever listen to. Any ideas on how to make this go away? |
||||||||

|
yiu could not listen to radio at all. |

Tolstoyed, I'm trying not to listen to the radio... :) The right speaker picks up some random station... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
how come? do you have a tuner? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no i think its because i live really close to radio towers. I dont have a tuner, these babies are just hooked up to my soundcard and thats about it. |

Get some better speakers, or move! A lot of speakers do this. Mine do sometimes. The degree to which it happens depends on location, quality of speakers, age of speakers, shielding, proximity to a radio transmitter etc etc. When I lived out in the country, many many years ago, my speakers would regularly pick up local police broadcasts. Even if the speakers weren't connected to any power source. Freaked me out many times at night. |

Thats crazy. My friend has the same speakers as me, he lives in a different part of town but doesn't seem to get any interference. Also, when i turn my speakers off, dead silence, so its something to do with the current. |

my guess would be to check cables, speaker in itself cannot capt radio frequecnies, the cable can hange their position in the room/house/appart test them elsewhere to see if they act normal if not change the cable that should do the trick |

lol @ 'something to do with the current' ;D couldn't be something else... =) |

yeah, its definately gotta be the speaker cables, I'd buy new ones, but I dont know if I'll get the same problem... I was hoping someone had like a homemade remedy for this, like wrapping tinfoil around something or using duct tape (i'm just making this shit up for use as an example) |

I have this too! I get country music especially when I put my hand on top of it. |
||||||||

I live about 200 yards away from the radio station, however. That might have something to do with it. |

I live at the bottom of a mountain, but the top of it is littered with crazy radio towers. |

don't have the time to read it all, but this may help you a lot... |

try balanced jack cables. they pick up much less outside signals. |
||||||||
|

if you can get your hands on lots of lead, melt it into plates and cover your walls with it. otherwise, go to your nearest music-store, describe your problem, and ask to test cables with better insulation. |
||||||||

|
|
and.. is the radio still there if you unplug the speakers from the soundcard? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, its actually louder if i unplug the cable from the soundcard. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
This has happened to me before, I found that a long / coiled cable is more susceptable (sp?) to picking up radio frequencies. |
||||||||

|
|
hehe wtf resistance |
||||||||
|
|

|

balanced xlr or 1'4'' cables... what kinda of interface are you using? does the outputs of your interface have balanced outs? If not then balanced cables are a waste. |
||||||||

jeez, its the fucking speaker for sure.. Its got power right now, but i unplugged all audio cables from it, and its broadcasting a christian music station |
