How do you shield an isolation transformer?


I have a Topaz 2.5 Kva Ultra Isolation Transformer. It has to sit in my 10' x 12' listening room behind my equipment.

It's not real close to the speakers since I have them sitting over 6' into the room in a nearfield listening setup.

I was told that the transformer generates a magnetic field that should be shielded and kept away from my equipment. How do I do this, and is there a way to do whatever so that it looks halfway decent?

Thanks,
Chuck

you could build a mdf or wood box that covers the transformer, then line the inside of the box with copper foil or copper sheets. if you haven't noticed any ill effects due to the transformer being in your room, i'd say just leave well enough alone.
