Because of the high maintenance needed to monitor and filter spammers from the RF Cafe Forums, I decided that it would
be best to just archive the pages to make all the good information posted in the past available for review. It is unfortunate
that the scumbags of the world ruin an otherwise useful venue for people wanting to exchanged useful ideas and views.
It seems that the more formal social media like Facebook pretty much dominate this kind of venue anymore anyway, so if
you would like to post something on RF Cafe's
Facebook page, please do.
Below are all of the forum threads, including all
the responses to the original posts.
Guest Post subject: Filtering noise in IR headphones Posted: Thu Jan 12, 2006 1:08 pm Hello all, a tricky question:
Instead of using batteries, I want to power a couple of IR headphones with an external source, so they are always on.
Then, when I connect a couple of wires where the batteries were, I get a lot of noise... I'ver tried filtering (47uF in parallel with 100nF), ferrite, shielding power cable ... The problem appears when connecting the wires to the battery poles, even if there are the normal batteries there and these wires are connected to no place (open circuit)
I mean, this cables act as an antenna for noise, but how can I solve it??
Thanks

enjoy! jab
