Speaker Repair: Cosmetic vs. Irreparable Damage

By WebDrafter.com, Inc. w/ permission
When your speaker stops working, you will probably have a million questions. You will wonder what happened and if it can be fixed. The damage to your speaker may be purely cosmetic, or it may have vast internal damage. If you live anywhere around the Twin Cities, like Roseville, speaker repair is Midwest Speaker's specialty. We can diagnose the problem and make the necessary repairs. Don't scratch your head and wonder if your speaker is salvageable, bring it to us!

Cracks & Rips
If your speaker is old, it may have wooden elements that have cracked over time. This problem can usually be repaired. The longer you have a speaker, the more likely it is to incur some sort of cosmetic damage. Cosmetic damage can also take the form of a ripped speaker. If it still works properly electronically, a ripped speaker is usually not much to fret about. It's easy to accidentally poke a hole or rip a tear in a speaker.

Water Damage
Water damage can cause both cosmetic and irreparable speaker damage. Water may leave a watermark on your speaker, which would probably mean a new casing for your speaker. If you have a newer speaker, there probably won't be any signs of water damage on the outside. The damage will be on the inside, where it affects the electrical components. If you have had substantial water damage happen to your speaker, bring it to our technicians today.

Component Failure
If something in your speaker is simply not working, that means major problems. When components fail, it means there is substantial damage within your speaker. It usually takes a trained technician to bring a speaker back to life. If you have a speaker that isn't working properly, bring it in before you decided to throw it away. Many speakers can be repaired, even ones that seem to have substantial damage.

Few things enhance home movie viewing like a new home theater surround sound system. Watching sci-fi and horror movies becomes much more of an experience when you can hear creatures sound like they are sneaking up from behind you or a laser blast zips from one side of the room to the other! But how to do you set up your system to achieve these great effects? It all comes down to speaker placement. Most home theater systems will have five speakers and a sub woofer and many will have seven speakers and a subwoofer. These are a called 5.1 and 7.1 systems respectively. Fortunately, a little bit of information on setup goes a long way. With most systems there will be three speakers at the front near the television or screen. The center channel speaker is situated directly above or below and centered on the screen. The front of the speaker should be flush with the edge of the screen. Be sure the speaker is on top of or very close to the screen otherwise the sound can ap...

By WebDrafter.com, Inc. w/ permission
When looking for portable audio , most people end up thinking about a headset. There are several different kinds with different pros and cons. Lets take a look at the various types and highlight their differences. The most pervasive type are earphones or ear-buds. These have been made iconic with Apple's ads featuring white silhouette dancers against colorful backgrounds with white earphones wires. Of course, there are many manufacturers of ear-buds. The biggest benefit of ear-buds are the price. They frequently come free with MP3 players and extras can be purchased for as little as a few dollars.
