How to Know When Stereo Speakers Need Repaired

By WebDrafter.com, Inc. w/ permission

When your stereo speakers stop working, it can be hard to figure out exactly what is going wrong with them. Is it the amp, speaker wires or a setting on the TV? Or maybe it’s the stereo speaker itself. Ruling out each item can be a difficult task if you aren’t sure where to begin. That’s why this guide walks you through how to determine when your stereo speakers in Minneapolis need repair!

Here at Midwest Speaker Repair, we are well-versed in all the issues a stereo speaker could encounter. That’s why when you need your stereo speakers repaired, we can help.

How Do I Identify a Problem with My Stereo Speaker?

The first sign of a speaker in need of repair is either a distorted sound or no sound when in use. If your speaker isn’t making any sound at all, you should start by checking the other components (the amp, wires and the TV settings). While doing this, if you have another speaker that still works, try connecting it to the wires of the one in question. If the working speaker stops working – then you know you have an amp or wires that need to be replaced! If the issue is found during this step, then you no longer need to worry about the chance of requiring speaker repair!

However, if the other components show no signs of being the cause, the next step is to examine the speaker by disassembling the enclosure to check the drivers/components. If this is not a step that you feel comfortable performing, bring it in to an expert! They will be able to look and determine if the issue is in fact your speaker, and if it is – what part of the stereo speaker is causing the problem. At Midwest Speaker Repair, this is something we are happy to help with!

What Should I Do Once I’ve Identified a Problem?

Once you have identified a problem that requires expert repair, the next step is deciding whether the repairs are worthwhile to you. If your stereo speakers are old and you’ve been meaning to replace them anyway, then now is the time to buy new! Or, if the speakers are worth less than the price of repairs, it may be best to just get new.

However, if you want to keep your current stereo speakers, then it becomes time to contact a professional to repair them! It’s always best to secure the help of a professional to avoid risking further damage due to someone not familiar with the workings of stereo speakers.

Luckily, here at Midwest Speaker Repair, we not only repair speakers, but sell them as well! If you are undecided on whether you should repair or buy new, we can quote you on both, so you can make the best decision for you. We have a large selection of used and rebuilt speakers too.

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. They are also very portable and can be easily kept in one's pocket. The down side is sound quality. Although the sound quality varies greatly from the cheapest models to the more expensive models, ear-buds are lacking as compared to full size headphones.
