I wish I had better news, but most consumer products have "the pin one 
problem." It's also common for RF to be coupled on loudspeaker wiring. 
The RF side of this can be solved with ferrite chokes on cables 
connected to vulnerable equipment.  Twisted pair loudspeaker wiring also 
helps that part of the problem.
