Logan_Five Posted January 20, 2006 Report Share Posted January 20, 2006 (edited) Just got a new NHF800 through Minidisc Australia - am really thrilled by price Oz$179 since I need it for recording music lessons and none of the mem stick based ones cut it - however, it comes with some large and some small clamp filters attacted to the DC unit (2 small and 1 large), the remote (1 small) and the usb cable (2 large, 1 small) which are unsightly and heavy!Does anyone know what's up with this? The only info I have is a loose leaf insert that says to attach a supplied clamp filter to the cord of a stereo microphone if I add one "to comply with the applicable EMC standards". I'm suspecting this is something to do with Australian regulations on imported units?Will my unit (or me lol) be harmed by me taking them off, I already took the one off th remote control - it was annoying and cutting into the cable. (ETA: I'm also worried that connectors in the cable will be broken by the strain of the looped around cable)Any advice anyone?

KrazyIvan Posted January 20, 2006 Report Share Posted January 20, 2006 You will not harm anything by taking them off. I leave the one on the AC adapter on just to reduce the possibility of EM noise that might affect my recordings. It may be overkill though. On my NF610 I took them off completly and never noticed any difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobS Posted January 21, 2006 Report Share Posted January 21, 2006 The ferrites are not to prevent noise from affecting your recordings. They are to stop emf emitted by your unit from affecting other devices such as radios. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bland10000 Posted January 22, 2006 Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 From page 13 of the RH10 user's manual:"How to use the supplied clamp filtersWhen using the recorder connected to the computer, make sure to attach the clamp filters in the way described. (You must attach a clamp filter to comply with the applicable EMC standards.) It is unnecessary to attach the clamp filters if you use the unit without connecting it to the computer."
