Re: DQ20 tweeter
Nope. Looks like the paper or cardboard is peeled off. I'm assuming that
those once held the polarity direction. Wire color doesn't qualify?
Green/black white/black.

Re: DQ20 tweeter
You should see a +/- ?or some other markings somewhere on the back of the tweeter, perhaps the back of the case.
Lacking that, you can test the tweeter with a battery but it is tricky.

DQ20 tweeter
Fellas. Can you tell me the polarity of the Scanspeak tweeter. Black/white, green/black. Which is which? The back label is gone where I assumed the +/- was located. Got my new ones today and didn't

Re: DQ10 Woofer Distortion
My initial reaction is that a misalignment of the woofer would be less
critical than a misalignment of one of the other drivers because the
wavelengths of the acoustic waves that the woofer radiates

Re: DQ10 Woofer Distortion
As I wrote in my message #6532 that I sent on 01/15/2024 and as you can see in the photos I attached to my message #6534 (sent the same day) a non-negligible difference between the original woofers of

Re: Magnat mid
On the mid range branding, I don’t know. I just pulled that schematic from this site. In terms of the resistors, I heard of situations where the resistors appeared fine and when removed were burned

Re: Magnat mid
Thanks Charlie! I see on all schematics, they show the mid as "unbranded".
Shouldn't it be Magnar? Or am I wrong? I'm receiving the next generation of
the Scanspeak 2008 tweeter today from Madisound!

Re: Magnat mid
The caps in red are the ones that affect the midrange.

Re: Magnat mid
That is the process I just used to fix my sprinkler system and it will work, especially if you have known good parts readily at hand to swap / sub. However, if you have multiple failures, like I did,

Re: Magnat mid
You could swap the mid range driver from one speaker to the other. This
would narrow it down to driver or crossover

Re: Magnat mid
If it started doing this after recapping I would suspect the solder joints. Do both speakers do this?
Did you replace the components individually? Any chance the caps got interchanged with wrong

Re: DQ10 Woofer Distortion
Well Johnny...there's the twist! I didn't follow due diligence when I

Magnat mid
I just recapped my 20's recently but didn't replace the cement resistors. I have a slight crackling in the mid Magnat even at low volume..and it seems appears on different music tracks. Weird right!
