That's what happens when you buy Behringer :P I'm fairly sure that they are just poorly shileded, mine used to hum and pick up radio too, though now I've got a pair of A7s and they are completely silent...

There is this little thing you can buy that clamps on the AC cable that is suppposed to stop RF interference. But I feel like a ****** beacuse can't remember what it's called. Think you can get them at radioshack....

The monitors you are using has have confirmed reports by many of picking up fm stations. I suggest you return them, or move away from a big city.

alright slutz... BESIDES purchasing brand new monitors or returning them (returning them isn't an option) is there anything i can do?

should i get a seperate power strip for them? any certain type of power strip. right now i just have a basic power strip with a surge protector on it.

i haven't really noticed this before... they've been pretty faithful to me... and i'm humble by them... so please don't make fun!!! we all have to start somewhere. at least i have a pair right?
