Devialet on the wall

[PhilP]

Yes, you could say the Devialets are 'semi' cages of Faraday. The thick aluminum case will reflect most of the direct hitting 2.4GHz radio waves and absorb the rest. These waves will only penetrate the plastic parts, not the thick metal parts. The 250/D-Premier has it's antenna at the front behind the plastic window but the other Devialet models at the back so afer mounting it on the wall it's harder for the 120/200 to receive the remote signal as these would almost have to "bend" around the big aluminum front to reach the internal antenna.

Further evidence that aluminium (even foil) can act as a Faraday cage One for the DIYers to try
