Default Getting rid of mobile phone galloping ghost from audio circuits.

Hmm well its mostly turntable and microphones into a mixer. It is being
domestic unballanced switchable impedence stuff, so probably not designed
for the problem as the unit was built in 1979 when we did not have mobile
phones. The stuff in throught the two speakers is coming in from next
door, who probably have the sofa up gainst the same wall as my speakers lie
against.
I also have a sub woofer which seems to alsopick it up with no leads
attached at all, so probably the leads inside the box on the amp are doing
the dirty.
I was interested in your comment about the cut of frequency of
capacitorrs, I am a bit out of touch, and most of the ones I fitted before
were of the simi transparent silver innards type.

Looping speaker leads though ferrite clip-on block may fix that entry
route. You may find something similar plus more careful earthing or/and a
filtered mains block would help.

You'd need to say more about the details of your "Low level circuits" for
me to give more specific suggestions. e.g. a 100pF rf cap shunt may help,
but larger caps would be a problem for some inputs like "turntables"
(sic).
Maybe you've not tried caps that remain caps at UHF and above?

Diodes might simply make it worse by spraying the energy across into other
frequency bands and pulling more current.

With the proliferisation of mobile devices running on the mobile phone
network its getting increasingly a annoying to listen to things on a
good old fashioned or even new fangled radio, without the noise
occurring at some point. Even from next door one can get it getting into
the audio chain. Anyone know if there is an easy way to stop it. In the
old days a few capacitors got rid of Radio China or Vatican City, but
due to the high frequencies of the phones and the spiky nature of the
handshaking noise, this seems not to work much. What is the mechanism.
they cannot be tuned to the r frequencies, so is it just straight diode
type detection due to the huge signal level?


Low level circuits like turntables, microphone inputs etc, seem to be
the worst, but I've also proved my Denon is picking it up from its
speaker cables.
