mustangmalibu Posted July 29, 2002 Share Posted July 29, 2002 Hi, I have a pair of Klipsch KG 4.5 floor standing speakers. I'm trying find out if it is possible to shield the magnets on the speakes so that it doesn't interfere with the picture tube on my tv. Space is limited in my new house and I'm forced into placing the speakers 4 feet from the tv on both sides. Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

mustangmalibu Posted July 29, 2002 Author Share Posted July 29, 2002 The speakers are interfering with the tv. The color in the picture tube is distorting. I have Sony 32' Wega XBR. At the moment I have the speakers disconnected and moved into the office for storage. Can someone please tell me what BUCKING the magnets is.

justin_tx_16 Posted July 29, 2002 Share Posted July 29, 2002 this is a bucking magnet... ...By attaching to a driver's magnet in reverse polarity, this magnet can be used to add shielding to tweeters, midranges, and small mid-bass and woofer drivers so they can be placed in close proximity to picture tube CRTs and computer monitors. ------------------ -justin SoundWise promediatech@Klipsch.com /1-888-554-5665 - RA# 800-554-7724 ext 5 s> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougdrake Posted July 29, 2002 Share Posted July 29, 2002 MM - Don't want to dispute your reality, but it really seems odd that they would cause interference at 4 feet from the set. I have a pair of Chorus (with 15" woofers) about 2-3 feet from my Sony RPTV with no ill effects. Also have a subwoofer with a 12" driver about 2 feet from the set with no problem. Call 1-800-KLIPSCH for the bucking magnets. Parts Express (www.partsexpress.com) also has them, but I don't know if they will fit your application. Good luck!

mustangmalibu Posted July 29, 2002 Author Share Posted July 29, 2002 I hear what you guy are saying about the 4 foot distance and how it shouldn't be affecting the tv. All I know is the bottom of my tv screen on both left/right turn green when the speakers are that close to the tv. I will be looking into the bucking magnets for the tweeters & woofers on my KG 4.5's Thanks for telling about the bucking magnets. I appriciate everyones suggestions and comments. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynnm Posted July 29, 2002 Share Posted July 29, 2002 I am suprised to hear that you are getting that effect at that kind of distance but I am sure the bucking magnets will cure it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Garrison Posted July 30, 2002 Share Posted July 30, 2002 I'm not really surprised about the interference from four feet away. Every TV is different - even within the same brands, different models, or different production variations of the same model, exhibit different tendencies regarding mag interference. In my case, I have three different TeeVees in the house - a ten year old Toshiba 35", a seven year old Mitsubishi 27", and a four year old Sharp 23". The Mitsubishi doesn't care if I set a pair of KG4 on top of it, under it, next to it, or inside it for all I know - no effect whatsoever. The Toshiba is so damn sensitive that I have trouble putting speakers IN THE SAME SIDE OF THE ROOM (17' X 21') without getting horrible picture distortion - finally wound up positioning four feet to the side and two feet in front of the set. The Sharp is in between. ------------------ Music is art Audio is engineering Ray's Music System Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
