[sdiy] Frustrating RF Interference

So I got a used Tascam M-2516 mixer and now it is picking up FM radio
country music in my monitors/headphones. I've tried disconnecting
everything down to just the mixer and a single keyboard running off the same
power outlet to no avail. Everything works fine with my old crummy
Behringer mixer. Just can't figure this out.. I don't think there is a
ground loop and I'm using a short, high-quality shielded cable.
I've heard that Tascam back in the day didn't do much in their designs to
provide proper shielding and RF rejection. Now to my knowledge the lowest
FM station is 88.1 mhz; the signal somehow gets rectified inside the mixer
and becomes audible. Is there anyway I can filter out say everything above
50khz on the line inputs and prevent the FM signal from getting rectified?
I've tried ferrite chokes, but I think it will be too expensive for so many
connections. Can anyone advise me on how to add simple RF filtering on my
mixer inputs?
Thanks,
Jimmy
