Electrical interference from switching relays can be a persistent challenge that generates abrupt transients or audible artifacts into your audio pathway. This noise typically occurs when electromechanical switches activate or deactivate, causing current spikes that induce noise in audio pathways. While relays are useful for switching high-power signals, their mechanical nature makes them prone to generating electrical transients.

To eliminate switching artifacts, start by choosing the right type of relay. SSRs are often a superior choice for audio because they have zero mechanical components and switch more smoothly, preventing disruptive surges. If you must use a coil-driven relay, select one with a minimized coil inductance and consider using a RC snubber—a passive R-C filter—across the relay coil to dampen the back emf generated during switching.

Additionally, ensure proper grounding and shielding. Keep relay circuit traces away from audio signal paths and use twisted pair or shielded cables where possible to minimize electromagnetic interference. Place the relay as far as practical from input stages and preamps, انواع رله and consider adding a common-mode filter on the relay power line to filter high frequency noise.

Power supply filtering is also vital. Use decoupling capacitors near the relay’s power input and consider a dedicated clean power rail for the audio section. Finally, implement firmware-controlled switch scheduling if the relay is controlled digitally, so that switching happens during periods of no audio activity.

By combining these techniques—selecting the right relay, implementing snubber networks, physically separating noise sources, and synchronizing with audio silence—you can effectively suppress switching artifacts and preserve pristine sound fidelity.
