Magnetic Sheilding - Definitive Tech Sub - how close to DLP Tv

I just had my PF15TL+ taken apart this weekend to replace a couple things and I noticed that it had no magnetic shielding whatsoever inside of it. I do not know how close of relatives the two subs are however, yours may be different.


Also, I am not sure what type of problems you would have with magnetic fields with your TV. If it's a CRT definitely keep any unshielded speaker at distance.

I believe the PF1500TL was the same interally as the PF15TL. EXternally it has the glossy caps. I believe the PF15TL+ is the newer PF15TL with the 500W sub. I could be wrong I'm trying to think back 5 years or so when I bought my sub.


Here is the response I got from definitive:


Thanks for your recent email to Definitive Technology. First, thePowerField 1500TL subwoofer is not magnetically shielded. I'd recommendkeeping this subwoofer at least 15" away from your television's picture tube or a computer hard drive. Next, if you're using a rear projection, plasma or DLP television, you canplace the subwoofer as close as you'd like. These televisions don't use a conventional picture tube like direct view televisions do and are not susceptible to magnetic interference.

They're right, of course. A non-CRT display is not effected by magnetic fields.
