Wayne I seriously doubt this is an RF issue. TV is all digital and has no discrete audio carrier. TV RF interference would sound like white noise. This sounds more like an audio ground loop of some sort. > On June 18, 2021 10:33 PM Wayne Burdick wrote: > > > John, > > If the K4 is *o

John, If the K4 is *off*, then there's no active circuitry involved. However, the headphone plug-insertion detect circuit may involve an IC downstream that could include a schottky diode junction -- a potential way a very strong signal could be rectified right at the radio end of the cable. We'

My CM500 died on me, looks like the electret element … I replaced the set with a Koss SB/45 which was cheaper and quite comfortable and plugs into the K3 as well (K4 too). The price of the CM500 had doubled up here in Canada for some reason, so the Koss looked more attractive. 73 Dana VE3DS ___
