Home Theater/Audiophile RFI Kit
The Home Theater RFI Kits are specifically designed to cure most home theater systems triggered by Radio Frequency Interference problems from AM, FM, CB and Ham radio stations. The kits contain ferrite toroids (“Ring” shaped) for the AC power cord protection and “Snap on” ferrite beads for HDMI, audio, video and speaker cables. The ferrites are selected to eliminate RFI from 1 to 1000 MHz. The ferrites are easy to install, don’t require modification of the protected equipment and work in almost all cases to suppress annoying interference issues.
Also make sure you connect a good RF ground to the transceiver ground post.
Note to Flex Radio users: Use snap on ferrites for firewire cable, speaker cable and mic cable, Ring ferrites for Antenna output and DC power.
For additional RFI suppression, use a feed line choke at the antenna to suppress common current on the coax feed line – see our store for feed line choke alternatives for use at the antenna.
If you use a linear amplifier we have RFI kits for linear amplifiers that help suppress RFI in your shack or in your neighbor’s house.
