SPEAKERS & REFOAMING

OUR CREDENTIALS

PRICES AND SHIPPING

Original performance guaranteed with our service.

The older Infinities are great and have become classics. Don't compromise their quality with
a cheap refoam job. We restore them to their
original specifications.

Here's the facts on refoaming: 


  When attaching the new surround to the frame, the cone-coil assembly
 must be positioned such that the voice coil doesn’t rub the magnetic pole
 pieces. One method is to cut out the dome cap in the center of the cone
 and insert shims. This destroys the original dome cap and a generic
 replacement changes the frequency response and the sound of the
 speaker. We don't use shims, and leave the dome cap completely intact.
 The other method of alignment is to move the cone-coil assembly around
 until you don’t hear the coil scrape metal. This does not center the coil
 accurately at all. This is true even when using low frequency test tones,
 as all they do is make the scraping louder. They give no indication of when
 the coil is in the center of the magnetic field. We avoid these problems with
 our exclusive electronic coil alignment process that centers the coil with
 perfect symmetry. The dome cap is undisturbed, retaining the original
 frequency response, and the coil is aligned the same as it left the factory
 for linear cone movement and minimum distortion.


We check the following:
Impedance
Buzz and rattle
Integrity of dome attachment to cone
Integrity of coil attachment to cone
Integrity of coil attachment to spider
Spider adhesion to frame
Integrity of magnet, plate, and frame attachments
Accelerometer output and distortion
Input lead integrity and dress
We clean the input terminals if needed.

 
We also use polyether foam which lasts much longer than other types of
 foam, along with Airflex adhesive. It remains flexible, the same as that used
 for original construction.


Turnaround time is 
three working days, and all repair is overseen
by Bill Watkins. Guarantee is five years.

We also repair a few other select brands.

Packing and Shipping Instructions:

Remove the speaker from the cabinet by removing the screws
that hold the speakers in. Before disconnecting the two wires
(four for dual-drive) be sure to tag the wires and speaker 
terminals or draw a "map" to insure correct reinstallation.

Bolt or tie-strap the speakers together, face-to-face.

Use packing
all around such that speakers do not touch
the shipping box. Several layers of bubble pack works well.
