There is a noise filter that you can clip onto the power line or other cables to help prevent radio transmissions from going into the line or other sources of noise.

Maybe one of the cables is acting as an antenna.

With 300+ cables in my setup for audio, that's not what I want to read.

It's much less of an issue with balanced leads, so just use those?

Everything is already balanced, that's a given.

How about shielding and grounding

Yeah but is everything balanced or are you mixing the two? And if everything is balanced is everything properly grounded?

Incredible read on that topic: https://www.ranecommercial.com/kb_article.php?article=2127

A friend of mine bought IEMs with a microphone (Moondrop Chuu) and it would pick up radio frequencies that you could hear through a voice call. These didn't end up fixing it, I suspected it was bad grounding but we never ended up solving what the root cause was.

A similar device does not suppress the chair/monitor effect for me. Although that monitor is particularly bad (an Asus Rog, no less!).

Oh, so that’s what those are! I’ve got a few USB-mini cables (that I think came with a PS3) that have those.
