The disclosure is related to systems and methods of compensating for interference via a multi-reader system. A transducer or read/write head may include a write element and multiple read elements. A compensation circuit can be configured to process read signals from the multiple read elements to reduce noise within the read signals, such as caused by the writer being simultaneously active or for other reasons. The read signals may be combined to produce a compensated read signal that has less noise than the original read signals.
