Speaker interference

[Big Head Tech]

I have a Nice set of Bose speakers my brother bought me a few years ago.  Even if the sound is turned off or the 1/8 inch plug isn't in I hear a low rumble.  I believe it's from the 2.4GHz interference on my router, but not 100% sure.

if it's a low rumble it's more likely a power cable, you cant quite hear direct interference from 2.4GHz because it's well.. quite a bit outside of the audible range

a good rule of thumb (which i COMPLETELY ignored rewiring my desk ) is to have about 5-10cm of space between power cables, data cables, and audio cables (split in those groups, from my testing with actually decent wiring setups that's the best space/interference compromise to make)

 

the most important ones to keep seperated are power cables. the combination of high currents and 50-60Hz means it basicly is guaranteed to induce a low hum in any speaker cable it's close by for a decent length.
