Dec 1, 2017 at 0:45 comment added D.A.S. One takes the longest cable used and terminates the impedance at both ends as correctly as possible into a spectrum analyzer or scope. Cable quality varies widely and ground connections matter too. I once used a spectrum analyzer on CATV signals near a train passing and measured significant interference, mostly due to poor grounds on coax. This is a CM noise converted to differential due to impedance imbalance.

Dec 1, 2017 at 0:31 comment added User7251 Actually the choke I was planning on using is here: product.tdk.com/info/en/catalog/datasheets/…, the 220. I mentioned above that L1&L2 are actually one CM choke, hopefully that was clear. I'm not working to any spec, and I don't have any numbers so I was just trying to get rejection as low as possible in that range, not very precise, I know. Input/output is line-level audio and this setup will be used near an FM transmitter, I could go to the location where it will be used and do some testing, but not exactly sure how to determine what CM ...
