Paradigm Servo 15 picking up AM radio station


In my home theater rig, my Paradigm Servo 15v1 is picking up a local AM radio station. For those of you in the Chicago area, I finally figured out that it was AM, because I could make out the very distict voice of Doug Baffonne on AM 760, a local sports radio personality.

It isn't loud, and I can really only hear it if I put my ear next to the speaker, but it's annoying none the less. It also puts out a constant low level white noise, that again is only audioble with my ear next to the speaker. The sub has a function where it will automatically shut off when it doesn't detect a signal in a certain period of time. Because it is always getting a radio signal, it won't shut off unless I shut it off manually with the switch on the back.

I THINK the power cord I am using is shielded.

Any thoughts/suggestions?

It takes very little to pick up a radio signal. The simplest, easist way to do it is with a wire. So the first thing I would check would be the power cord and the interconnects. If it is one of those wires, you might be able to eliminate it simply by moving the wires a few inches one way or the other, or even by altering the orientation or shape of the wire lying on the floor.
