Sam_D Posted February 23, 2001 Share Posted February 23, 2001 Maybe your monitor's just going bad. Move them farther away from the monitor. That should help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Amy Posted February 23, 2001 Moderators Share Posted February 23, 2001 The satellites are shielded, the sub is not. Try moving it a little farther away from the monitor. ------------------ Amy ProMedia Tech Support promediatech@klipsch.com 888-554-5665 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan F Posted February 23, 2001 Share Posted February 23, 2001 The flicker could be a monitor shadow-mask vibration. Doesn't have anything to do with shielding, but the cure is the same...reposition the speakers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatKnight Posted February 23, 2001 Author Share Posted February 23, 2001 i cant move them anywhere unfortuneately there is no other good spot to put them where the sound decent. also, my monitor occasionally flickers totally (sort of like degauss, but not quite as strong). this is unrelated to my speakers it's been hapening since i moved into my dorm. my monitor is almost brand new. im wondering if its power pollution or interference of some sort.

Paragon Posted February 23, 2001 Share Posted February 23, 2001 Try moving your monitor forward and the Pro sats back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatKnight Posted February 23, 2001 Author Share Posted February 23, 2001 i dont my monitor is too big it barely fits where it is now so that it can still be perpendicular to the edge of the desk. i cant really move the sats or the sub either. grr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janko10 Posted February 23, 2001 Share Posted February 23, 2001 do you have every freakin thing in your dorm hooked up to like 1 or 2 outlets? its probably a power supply problem, cause when you rev the pro's or other stuff on the same outlet/circuit, it'll cause the monitor to flicker. if i rev my microwave, my monitor does a rolling flicker thing. hell, if i rev my electric pencil sharpener, it really goes all to hell. its kinda cool. we always blow the fuses or whatever in our building and trip the breakers. make sure nothing else is on other than comp and speakers, and if possible, put them on different outlets. hope this helps, J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatKnight Posted February 24, 2001 Author Share Posted February 24, 2001 yes, i do have everything in my room hooked up to 2 outlet. duh! what else am i supposed to do? run a mile long extension cord from the power plant? i think guh not. but the answer is yes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
overlord311 Posted February 24, 2001 Share Posted February 24, 2001 I used to have sort of the same problem, since I live in a dorm too. The guy in the next room over and my desks are facing the same wall, and I can always tell when he uses his pencil sharpener from the magnetic interference that comes through the wall and flickers my monitor Anyway, my room is self contained on its own breaker. Originally when I got in the room, there was a 10 amp breaker in my closet. Running my comp, monitor, speakers (moderate level), and florescent light, it would do fine. When the fridge kicked in, the breaker would blow. So, I went to the hardware store, got a 15 amp breaker, put it in, and my power problems were gone. I do hear a slight clicking in my speakers when the fridge comes on, but a way to reduce this is to run the speakers through a power strip (a decent one) rather than through the wall sockets. Hope some of this helps a little. ------------------ The distance between insanity and genius is measured only by success. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know much about power conditioners, but that might be something to look into. You may also see a difference if you use two different outlet strips, and move things around on them. Good Luck.
