G. I. Raffe Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 I just moved house last week and my monitors are picking up radio waves. I have a pair of Wharfdale diamond-pro's plugged into my computer via an M-Audio hub. When I turn them on, they pick up radio waves.. some Bhangra Radio station. If I turn on the speakers without turning the computer on there's no interferance. It's only when I have the computer on. So I'm thinking it's the hub itself picking up the waves I found a similar problem here: http://www.techimo.com/forum/archive/index.php/t-7165.html Has anyone experienced this???

Guest Rook Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 With my guitar amps I have picked up everything from Chinese radio to the neighbors phone conversations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josso Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 My brother's marshall regually picks up police radio, never in the middle of a gig but in the middle of rehearsals apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braintree Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 Yeah, I've picked up radio waves through all sorts of amps. Really annoying during a performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qnio Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 i have the same problem here maybe the solution is to build a faraday cage around the house Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josso Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 Around the amp, that might actually help and I don't see it affecting the sound quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hahathhat Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 my speakers are generally fine, but i occasionally hear a cordless phone ring signal over them - not a ringing noise, but the radio signal the base station sends out to make the cordless ring. it's kind of a tinny "duntaduntaduntadunt" i only knew what it was due to years of listening to my neighbors via my radio scanner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josso Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 That's bizarre, I've heard of heaters picking up strong signals though. There's a specific type, think they were called "bar heaters" or something but they have a good ammount of metal on them and pick up radio signals.

Guest Caustic Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 Interesting. It's never happened to me but you've got me paranoid now. I'll ask around to see if it's happened to anyone I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
