RFI from steel TV bracket?


Yesterday I installed a new TV on a steel wall-mounted extendable bracket between all my electronic components.
I now have a low hum/buzz from both speakers on all sources....even with the preamp on mute?
When I switch the preamp off.....the hum is still there.
The only way to remove the hum is to switch the amps off?
I tried grounding the steel bracket to the preamp and then the amps without success.
The previous TV was in the same location but sitting on the shelf.....not a steel wall bracket.
Any help would be dearly appreciated?

What all do you have connected to the TV? Are you using a Pre-pro that you can connect everything to then just run HDMI from the Pre-Pro to the TV? If you are running analog IC's to the TV and they are picking up interference from the AC cable then maybe a shielded power cable would help. If possible try to have your analog IC's cross the AC cord at a 90 degree intersection, if they must cross. If they are coming out of the TV mount area and must be together, try sheilding them as much as you can.
Halcro, it really sounds like you may have created a primitive power transformer with your wiring setup. If that is the case, the metal frame is acting as the core and the speaker leads draped over it are the secondary.

Try re-routing the speaker leads.
Hi Ralph,
The interconnects were running under the steel bracket.......not draped over it.
The speaker leads are on the floor well away from the bracket (as they have always been).
I just re-routed the right channel interconnect to along the floor away from the steel bracket........but the hum is still there?
Again.......if I run in fully balanced configuration from preamp to amp......shouldn't this prevent any RFI/EMI interference?
Isn't that why all professional sound systems run in this way?
Sounds to me like you have more troubles than you thought.

So let's go back to the time you installed this bracket thing.

What *other* changes did you do?
