Shielding Power cable from Audio cable

zt-OctaviaN · 16-09-2009, 16:29

Hey Folks!

Just wondering if you can help me.
I have to run Audio Cables and Power Cableing together basically cable tied together, its not ideal

but is there anything I can use to wrap my power cables up in to prevent Magnetic Interference into the speaker cable.

Maybe conduit I could slice down the centre and just wrap around it? Maybe a material of somekind heck Tinfoil?

Some of the installed cable is also cable tied back on itself but tidy!

Cables involved are:
4 standard power cables e.g. kettle lead cables one from TV, PS3, Onkyo and media centre. (grouped / cable tied together and not shielded)

Multiple Audio cables - make of cable is Gale 189 which is grouped / cable tied together and not shielded.

Thanks,
nick.

short of buying 'high end' power cables you could add shielding by using this tape from Radionics. http://radionics.rs-online.com/web/s...elding%20Tapes

You could get "classic" power cables from Dalkey Audio for about €40 and they come with a high degree of RF shielding as standard. http://cgi.ebay.ie/Dalkey-Audio-Cabl...4.c0.m14.l1262

No, I'm not getting involved in a debate about cables.
