md-max Posted March 4, 2005 Report Share Posted March 4, 2005 Rather bulky and ugly but it was already on the remote control cable of my NH900 when I got it so I left well alone. But would it matter if I took it off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobS Posted March 4, 2005 Report Share Posted March 4, 2005 The purpose of the ferrite on the cord is to reduce electrical noise that can interfer with other electronics in the area (such as radio reception). The remote cord can act as an antenna and radiate signals (esp if you have a digital amp) and the ferrite reduces that. The unit will work just fine without it. The US has laws regulation how much interferrence consumer items can emit and this is one of the ways of complying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm I guess I ought to leave it on, as I often record things from the radio...Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
