noise patteren on monitor
« on: September 14, 2010, 02:47:40 pm »
I have a Kortek KTN 2001 monitor mounted in a cabinet video slots game cabinet and hooked to a Super Draw poker board.  When the speaker makes sounds such as beeps when credits are added I get an interference/noise pattern on the monitor screen (horizontal lines).  Does not happen with speaker disconnected. 

What causes this and what can I do to fix it?  Is the speaker magnetic field interfering with the monitor or the game board?  Would some kind of metal shielding prevent this?
In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice, but in practice.....there is!!
