|   buzzing woofer in speakers - help anyone? | defenbacher
Apr 10, 2003 3:18 PM | | I just bought some used speakers (Norman Labs Model 82s) from a record store that was going out of business. The woofer on one of them, I just discovered, buzzes on certain sustained bass frequencies. You can only hear it on maybe 5% of the music I play, even when they're bumping.
If I lightly place my finger on the woofer, the buzzing disappears completely. So i put a few strips of masking tape on the woofer to stabilize it, and this made it a little better.
So I don't think it's blown, just the woofer isn't seated correctly or something. I really don't have any idea. Does anyone know a quick fix for something like this? I only paid $30 for the pair, and they are very usable in their current condition, so I'm not going to do anything too drastic.
Thanks,
John |

Age or rough use could cause a dragging voice coil. |
