Studio Monitors / Radio Interference, radio incoming thru my studio monitors Options

[fishboisfo]

Has anyone experienced this and know a solution to this ?

Recently we moved to a new house, and apparently ( now ) we are in a relatively close proximity to a radio tower. I frequently get the radio station to play through one of my monitors.

Is there any way I can shield for this ?? It is driving me NUTS !!

Thanks !

To add to all azkid said. A radio "in" can come from the earth connection, a ground loop, some component working as an antenna, even some carbon deposit on a plug somewhere.

Best thing to try is:
- test your cables. one may be faulty.
- check for a ground loop, follow all connections and see if there's one. Kill it on the spot (but be careful not to put yourself in danger, make sure everything is grounded properly in a star pattern).
- remove most of the parts of your studio from the connections and try, then insert one by one to find the ofender.
- check the lamps around, some have nasty transformers. One guy here had issues coming from neon lights in the shop the level under his flat…
- insert a power conditionner (may not cure, but if you can try one, have a go)
