- How to repair this broken tweeter or pushed in tweeter
My dynaudio audience 62 came with pushed in tweeters and this is how I repaired them. Speaker repair should be done by specialist but the tweeter repair can be done by everybody without any technological knowledge - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี

I have done it with using vacuum cleaner on very low settings with vent opened. Works perfectly . It is impossible to have tweeters in perfect shape when little children are around ;)
Habba Babba nice yeah its true.
Not impossible. Simply keep the grille covers on when children are around.
Why not keep the speaker covers on?
when I saw this video title, I was thinking the same solution, a vacuum cleaner suppose to suck it back. But toilet paper bone? that refreshed my mind.
umm get an plasma tweeter everytime they try to touch the tweeter they get shocked
It's simpler than you think to do it properly. Use a vacuum cleaner suction section with a length of softish rubber tube taped in to the end and the rest taped over. All the air then flows down the small tube. This makes sure the nozzle of the cleaner is much smaller than the size of the tweeter. Then use a hot air gun on its lowest setting to gently heat the dome, without holding in one place too long, whilst sucking it. You can work on the smallest dents like this, so no imperfections are left. I have done this many times.
god comment
Thank you. God my dome almost perfect after knocking into it 😭😭😭
every time children visit me, I put the grills on.
Same but with my car
@@AlejandroGarcia-fh6dw Good.
Why not keep them on?
-Lochy. P- because they’re rattling
my 15 years old philips SPA9300 dont have a grill and im planning to invent DIY one.
Good afternoon, the way I arrange them is with hot air, with a hair dryer, little by little. The plastic heats up and expands. It also works with metal ones. In case they are not well smooth, apply the hot air, and followed cold air (you can use an inverted spray or a car inflator) Greetings from Uruguay
Thanks a lot for the advice. I did it on HGP Mandola speaker and the tweeter cone just pop out. With the "Stay at Home" order, I decided to power up my Hi Fi system which had been sitting dormant for the past couple of years. Getting to enjoy my collection of CDs again.
this lockdown is not the most terrible thing what happens to us.....also in tha house there are many things what can keep you busy
You give new meaning to the word audiophile.
They are over 18 years so everything is allowed
@@vintagestereo lol
Love this. After a visit from my friend and her two year old, I thought all was lost. But all very quickly fixed :)
Never did I think I’d be watching a guy blow off a speaker
Thanks for sharing your experiment in fixing this problem. I solved my dented tweeter by using a vacuum cleaner's suction. It saved my speakers.
Hair dryer to soften the material, then vacuum cleaner at low power. Done in 30 sec.
Excellent👍........I just repaired my bookshelf speaker tweeter with this vacuum method. I used a small plastic half cutout of a 7up bottle. Thank you sir for this very informative and helpful tutorial.
Yeah, my 2 year old did this to my speakers. That's why I'm here!
same here!
@@nathanpopa6137 ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ hahahahahahahahaha
You are the man!!!!!! Thanks bro!!!It worked perfect so easy for me!
Genialne w swej prostocie :-) Dzięki!
That's a great trick! Thanks for sharing!
My KRK Rokit 7 studio monitor had a kevlar tweeter pushed in. I tried tape and also a fine needle but it wouldn't move. I tried your method and it worked perfectly! Thank you!
I had pushed in domes on my Yamaha X4228C0 tweeters. The dome and coil was screwed into place with four screws. Removing the screws I could easily just take the tweeter apart and push the dome out from behind with a cotton swab. Maybe there are more tweeters that can be disassembled and repaired that way?
Good my friend, and thank you for this fine Idea.-...better than before...Just well Idea...!!!.-
Worked like a charm. Thank you
Nice, Andrew!
Very good old trick! (In pro studios this is practiced more frequently one can imagine).
They practice on each others dicks.
Try heating the dome with a hair dryer for a moment just before sucking it . ...or, instead of a hair dryer, cover it with a towel dampened with hot water with a cellophane barrier in between.
I used a hairdryer on some Kef Monitors to warm the material of the dome and then sucked through a hoover tube a few years back and it worked really well like you suggest Bluuplanet.
Exactly, I always carefully use a hair drier before applying controlled suction.
Worked perfectly! Thanks!
very good dynaudio laudspeakers love this channal
Great tips - thank you. I tried it and it worked.
Thank you, it worked perfectly with my KRKs.
Ik heb mijn tweeters van de computerspeakers bekeken en verroest, die waren ingedeukt. Volgens mij al bij de postbezroging gebeurt want ik vond ook wat piepschuim achter de grille. Uiteindelijk moest plakband eraan te pas komen, maar nu ziet het er weer goed uit. Dank voor de tip.
BTW, you should retry that toilet role trick again, but use something with a much stronger airtight seal
Thanks dude, i was affraid to do it with vacuum cleaner, this is much better.
Thank you for showing us this. Perhaps in the last steps, larger dents or creases could work with cotton buds / swab and tape, and smaller ones with toothpicks and tape. I am by no means an expert, this is the first time I have seen a video like this, and I have never had to fix tweeter speakers in my life. I don't think it is possible to make them look like nothing ever happened, with pushed in tweeters like that, but everything that does not breake them is worth trying, in hope to achieve the best look possible, right.
Toothpick with a drop of hot glue did the job for me brilliantly
Hmmm doesn't it leave the glue on the tweeter ?
This is why I prefer a grid. Thanks for the Video !
Remove the tweeter from cabinet ... undo the inner set of screws on the front plate of the tweeter ... this should release the dome and voice coil assembly from the magnet . Be very very careful separating these two parts and keep the magnetic gap clean at all times ! Now .. with the dome of the tweeter can be pushed out from behind using a round ended tool ! The dents should all come out now .. so just re -assemble the voice coil and dome to the magnet .. again be very careful aligning the coil in the gap .. fit the screws and refit tweeter in cabinet !
yep, , but that wont work if ur facing pressed in centers in the mids or woofers... tape method ive used with great results for those
Skip741 x ~ If you are successful in removing the dome assembly from the pole piece, then you have direct access to the back of the dome ... All you have to do is to push the dent out from behind using a soft ended tool such as a cotton bud !! Don’t use the tape method ... it’s possible to pull the dome and voice coil out of alignment .. very risky and it still leaves a tiny dent which won’t come out ...
I did this to on my Yamaha X4228C0 tweeters and it worked great. The front plate had small pins that matched small holes in the magnet-part so it was easy to get everything aligned again since It could only be assembled in one position.
Thank you sir! Toilet roll worked great on a Morel Supreme soft dome tweeter 👍
Genius! Thank you brother.
Awesome dude, it really works 😁 Thank you, you are saint ♥️
Worked great on my Bose double cube speaker. I pushed in the center cone while trying to get them clipped back together.
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I appreciate.
For a better result, you should stick oil fingers in to port)))
?????
Pretty smart!
Thanks dude! I was scared!
I have used a vacuum cleaner on low volume, with several layers of towel between, untill it's fixed. Always works.
My vacuum cleaner does not have a volume control on it.
@@deekay2 lmao hahaha
I cried when I saw the B&W tweeter pushed in. PUT ON YOUR MAGNETIC MESH COVERS IF YOU HAVE KIDS! that tweeter will never sound the same again even after you pop it out......
The majority opinion seems to be you won't be able to tell the difference in A/B test: www.gearslutz.com/board/so-much-gear-so-little-time/702826-dent-tweeter-domes-affect-sound-lot.html
@@unfinishedrescheduled1237 it changes the diffraction pattern for HFs...
@@davepastern u will not notice the diference in sound for small deffect.
Sound is a vibration of molecules in all directions , sound is not direccional like laser beams , wave lenght of 20khz is about 17mm( lets assume someone can hear 20kh wich nobody does) , so if the shape distortion is lets say 4 milimeters wich is super worse tweeter condition still the cancellation or radiation effect could be in the order of the 80khz , wich of course no music notes at that frequency. Actually not even 10 mm shape distortion could afect dispertion ,. Remember sound is produce on the tweeter by vibrate the coil-cone assembly wich vibrates molecules of air wich dispers in all directions being controlled by the diameter of the tweeter only and not by the shape directly,
Thanks God sound is like that otherwise could be so difficult to work with it,.
Another thing octave of 20kz lenght is 8.7 mm , still small dagame on tweeter dont touch it..
Your sister's children watched the video and now they are coming to put their finger on Twitter 😂
Hi! I tried to fixed the dented/pulled in tweeter on the speaker of my hifi (using the duct tape trick) and the whole tweeter came out (got unglued). Any ideas on the best way to put it back there? Is the speaker destroyed? Thanks in advance
Man, u saved my life!!!!!!!!!
I used a heat gun fanning it quickly left and right at a distance , and let expansion do the work. I did this to hundreds of tweeters that came damaged in transport. Service parts department sold them to dealers and end users., no one ever complained that the tweeters where damaged! Took out most wrinkles.
thanks bro, thats also a new one to me and an awser to crinkles
I’m glad it’s useful...did you try it ? keep your distance or you might melt dome .
With Morel and Dynaudio, they are 'treated' (doped) silk domes. Once creased it will always show the remnants of the crease like paper. Luckily I don't have kids! I'm going to get a metal tool made with a dome on the end that can be heated to a setting similar to a cool iron for a silk shirt. Then dismantle the tweeter, remove the dome and see if gently ironing the dome from the inside might help. I might try steam as well, that might just work again approaching front the rear of the dome... I'll let you know how it goes ok!
Heat may help to make it rounded without failures...the problem is to adjust the temperature not to melt the plastic dome

Ou uma fita igual faz normalmente em falantes normais ._.
Hey dude, have you tried the speakers after restoration?
My twitter cover plastic has came off...is there any substitute that i can use
The best sucker I have ever heard about!!
This does work. I’ve done a few times. Just have to be patient because it can take a few tries.
It worked sir....thank you so much
After you try the manual method put a hair dryer on it to warm it up. The warm heat will restore it to the original shape!!!
Correct, use a hair dryer. The plastic wants to go back to the original shape as it remembers the structure.
Bit like a Table Tennis Ball
I have used low power vacuum cleaner with relief holes in the toilet paper/paper towel tube. For the little imperfections that don't come out (because they have been some what stretched) use a hot hair dryer at a distance to try to get the dome to reform slightly....but go easy a little at a time on everything.
This only really works on some silk tweeters. If they've been freshly pushed in it may go back to original, but if they've been pushed in for a long time and heat cycled/weathered, the fabric is just physically altered and likely won't be perfect/have 'oil canning' you can't get out. A metallic or paper tweeter pushed in is ruined.
I remember seeing this video a year or so ago, I will never forget!
I just popped the mid range back out on my HPM100 using the toilet paper method he demonstrated. Like him, it’s still not perfect as it has some wrinkles, but from 4 feet, you can’t see it.
Very thanks man!!!!
You can run Celin Dion - I'm alive and it will pop out, works on all brands but not on Beryllium tweeters
911: what is your problem
Me:his doing it again
i love this guy!! he's really hilarious.....thx
3:00 is how every one fixing something and it works should act like :D 10/10 already
A Q tip and some clear sellotape,pulled the domes out of my 2 kef T-27 tweeters.
That’s a cool bong;)
Pure Genius thank you
Brilliant thank you!
Dude you just saved my life
You can do it that way or track down a small vac with a hose in a thrift. I’ve found shark vacs do wonders. Cover the hose with your fingers and move the hose close to the tweeter allowing just enough vac pull through you fingers. Be sure to keep your finger on the off-on switch just in case you allow too much vac. With some practice you will become a pro at this.
You wont be able to make it perfect.the other way is to remove tweeter and remove its magnet and push it out from the inside.this is possible if the tweeter have screws on the front to remove magnet.
well this is a new one to me! either the manual suction or like the commentor below, he used a vaccum for suction...that wild! ive always done it with the tape method, apply gently to dome, around whole surface and pull..
❤Amazing thanks🎉
Мужику лайкос за то как хохочет! :)
With old damage, the domes need to be heated up slightly, to reform into their old shape. As long as there's no paper involve the two best ways to do this is with a hair dryer (not a heat gun) or with steam. I will add, this is not a job for clumsy people...
If you heat up the material before sucking I think it work even better 👍
Could try putting a bit of the tape around something thin like a q-tip with no cotton on, sticky side out obviously, so there is only like a mm square of it that touches the tweeter; to try and get the little dents out. That is what I would try, dunno if it'd work. Or maybe a straw with or without some rubber or BluTak on the end to get a good seal for air.
Pretty certain my wife would be much better at this than I would. My tweeter gets a lot of attention.
on the knees :-)
Dan Hayes 😂😂😂
You dirty bugger!
Is she prepared to travel?
Suction as good as a dyson vacuum?
I use a vacuum cleaner, just make sure it doesn't create a vacuum. You can manage the airflow with your hand around the nozzle.
Good idea thanks
The Dyson works everytime!
lol, kids!! Thanks for the help man!
Damn childrens, I did this to my dads stand speakers when I was about 10 years, now 20 years later Im trying to fix them, no joke i think the best option is using a penies pump
Thanks!!
The Dyson works every time!
How about using an Aeropress coffee plung? And maybe with some rubber in between the speaker and the cylinder to create a better suction.
😂obrigado thank you very much Great idea !!!
Just had great results with a 1/8th” X 2” long piece of industrial Velcro
Remove the clear part to expose the super sticky adhesive. fold in half to create a round outside curve. Gently place the fold on the collapsed dome and pull it. If you achieve 85 to 95% you’re done you won’t be able to get it back to factory good luck.
i have also used a vacuum cleaner and it worked 100/00 great
Now heat the tweeters with a hair dryer. It will help to get the little dents out. Still won't be perfect though.
The remaining dint will have very little if any effect on the sound.
You are a generous God!!
Thank you so much
Lo intentaré 👍, saludos.
Com tambores de bateria, um jato de ar quente como soprador térmico corrige amassados, mas não sei quanto a domos de plástico de alto-falantes.
At First, try a bit warm it with a hairdryer, and then carefully use a vacuum cleaner. It could be give a better result.
*I hope that nephew is over 18 too!* 🤣🤣
I did this when I was 6 or 7.. I always had an obsession with hifi audio
Thx man
My jbl xtreme had the same problem
Seby 0906 xtreme 2 or 1?
Vacuum cleaner hand half over end 20 seconds job done done it many times
This guy has never had Children.
i have but she is never pushed in my tweeters, I always kept the front on my speakers. Without fronts it's asking for problems
Chewing gum and a syringe. Cut the end of the syringe with a knife. Seal with gum. Pull back until you hear the pop. Takes more time to chew the gum...
