It seems my MPC One emits RF like a mofo. It interferes with my tv, my phone, and my radios. There is no rf sheilding in my mpc's casing I've had it apart a few times now. Not a piece of copper tape, nothing. Cheap bastards! The more I learn about the current line of mpc's the more I feel like I've got bent over by a money mongering evil corporation whos consolidated all that was once holy into their evil empire of low-grade high dollar devices.


and thats my two cents...

My MPC Live 2 sits on my computer desk, right next to my wireless keyboard and mouse. When I have it on, both my keyboard and my mouse get janky connections to my PC. Such is the way of things - but the Live 2 also has a WiFi radio inside that isn't supposed to be shielded, and if the Bluetooth is on, well - there's more RF. But the MPC One has neither WiFi nor Bluetooth, so that's wild that it's messing with so much other crap in your house.

Wow. Wtf is going on there!?

Try a diff outlet, are the power cables/audi cables close to the tv power cables at all?

Over-the-air tv antenna picks it up. Not cable or sat, i don't like tv enough to pay for it heh. Antenna is pretty far away though, and its the only device that causes the issue lol.

the uhf band is 470mHz - 600mHz iirc and it might be that the mpc's lowest processor speed step is between 470-600 mHz. So to fix it, i'm gonna sheild the interior with some copper tape to keep it contained.
