S2000 Posted May 30, 2001 Share Posted May 30, 2001 Is a projection tv more or less likely to be affected by magnetism? I have a Klipsch Forte II as a center channel and it does not affect my 27" Mits tube tv. If I get a 46" Mits HDTV may I have problems?

HornEd Posted May 30, 2001 Share Posted May 30, 2001 Definitely LESS... My 65" Mitsu RPHD has a "horizontalized" KLF 30 on top a center and KLF 30's on each side without a trace of distortion. Only the crt guns could be affected... the projected image on striking the screen is not affected in any way. Usually, 12-18" distance of the actual crt from the speakers is enough to thwart any disturbance. Your 46" should be just fine. Enjoy.

WMcD Posted May 30, 2001 Share Posted May 30, 2001 I think the issue here is distance between the magnets in the speaker and the cathode ray tube itself. In projection TVs the crts are down at the bottom and the light is bounced of a mirror at the back, then forward to the screen. So a speaker sitting on top of the set is about three feet away from the crts. That is a fairly good distance. Ha. Speaker manufacturers shield the magnet with mu metal or bucking magnets. Does anyone know whether tv manufacturers have shielded their crts with mu metal? That would solve a lot of potential problems.

S2000 Posted May 31, 2001 Author Share Posted May 31, 2001 Thanks for the help. It looks like I might go ahead with the purchase of the 46" Mits. I will be mounting the Forte II which already has bucking magnets and shields. Onto the wall behind the television.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
