Secrets to Audio Speaker Repair

Audio speaker repair is a very technical and simple job to assume but in fact it is a very important process to undergo by the speaker repair man or the electronic technician. The point to this however is that the different processes of audio speaker repair can be so confusing most of the times especially if you do not know any of the biggest secrets to do it. So the purpose of this post is to help you guys out there and other audio speaker repair enthusiasts to understand that even simple as it seem, audio speaker repair can be a hard and tricky task to do.

Assuming that you are out to repair speakers by rewinding, here are a few simple pointers in order to help you understand what you are up to when you attempt to repair your audio speakers. First you must make sure that you have a small cardboard placed over the small slit between the magnets of your speaker, just below where the spider is located. To do this you have to of course remove the cone first and see the slit. Remember that this is done when you are out to replace the speaker winding or when you are to do a rewinding job.

After putting a small cardboard to the slits, you must wipe the slits clean with it. Do this in a motion of circular movements until you are sure that there is none of the smallest dust left within the slits in the magnet or that there is no more sticky substance caused sometimes by burned audio speaker winding.

After this, you have to make sure that you have the right or the exact number of turns of the same size of coil to use for rewinding the voice coil. Note that it is extremely important to be sure that you are using the same diameter in your cardboard for the frame of the coil. This rewinding process will have a problem if you are not sure that you are following this procedure and this is one of the most important step in rewinding your audio speakers.

After the rewinding process is through, you have to make sure that you are using the special clear epoxy for your put back of the cone and the edges of the audio speakers. Remember that after putting in the cone of the speaker, you have to make sure that when you try to feel the vibration of the speakers, there is nothing hindering the said vibration or that you are not hearing some scratches below the speaker coil to the sides of the slits in the magnet. If this is the case you have to repeat the procedure and make sure that you are using the right diameter in your voice coil frame before you start winding the coil.
