I have a PSW12 sub and would like to know how far away from a PC (or another emf-sensitive device) it is recommended that I place it.

The product specs (link) indicate that it has magnetic shielding, but do not provide any elaboration.

Thanks!

(FYI: I would like to place the PC appx 2 feet to the side of the sub, due to room size constraints)

(PS: if this is a dupe, I apologize; the first posting of this thread resulted in a mysterious eror)

    I suppose my query was a little specific...

    Can anybody speak to the quality of Polk's magnetic shielding?
    Does it allow one to place a high-powered speaker (+amp) near an EMF-sensitive device?

    Thanks!

    Our subs that are shielded are "soft" shielded, which means they have a reverse polarity magnet on them to cut down on the stray magnetic field. They are not as tightly shielded as say a center channel speaker. I know this is a vague response but it's hard to say how much distance you need, each component has different levels of sensitivity.

    Thanks for your response, Eric. If I find anything else out, I will post it to this forum for posterity.
