Scan-Speak's D2010 is a renowned 3/4-inch tweeter that has been widely acclaimed for its exceptional performance and durability. However, over time, the foam front of the tweeter can deteriorate, leading to compromised sound quality and potential damage to the driver. To address this issue, Scan-Speak offers a replacement foam front specifically designed for the D2010 tweeter.
As the foam front ages, it can become brittle and crack. This can cause the tweeter to produce harsh, distorted sound, and it can also lead to damage to the diaphragm. Here are some signs that the foam front on your D2010 tweeter may be deteriorating:
Cracks or tears in the foam: These are the most obvious signs of wear and tear.
Yellowing or discoloration of the foam: This indicates that the foam is degrading due to exposure to sunlight or other environmental factors.
Reduced treble response: If the tweeter is not producing as much high-frequency sound as it used to, the foam front may be to blame.
If you notice any of the signs of a deteriorating foam front, it is recommended to replace it promptly to prevent further damage to the tweeter and maintain optimal sound quality. Scan-Speak offers a genuine replacement foam front for the D2010 tweeter that is easy to install.
Here are the steps on how to replace the foam front on the D2010 tweeter:
Remove the tweeter from the loudspeaker cabinet.
Carefully pry off the old foam front using a sharp knife or a pair of tweezers.
Clean the tweeter's diaphragm and the mounting surface of the foam front to remove any debris.
Align the new foam front with the tweeter's diaphragm and press firmly until it is securely attached.
Reinstall the tweeter in the loudspeaker cabinet.
Replacing the foam front on your D2010 tweeter is a simple and cost-effective way to restore its performance and extend its lifespan. With a fresh foam front, your tweeter will continue to deliver clear, crisp high frequencies for years to come.
