Hey, all.
Recently had fun rebuilding a pair of Beovox S75s. Installed new crossover caps from Beoshop, replaced the tweeter diaphragms, and redid the grill cloth. The speakers really sing and sound great! Except…
The tweeters have a slight buzz whenever the amp is on; not noticeable when music is playing. I double checked the coils are the right impedance and tried swapping the wires, but no fix.
If I engage the Main Direct mode on my amp with a 6db drop, the issue goes almost completely away, even at higher volumes, but I’d prefer to keep my tone controls.
Thanks all!

14 November 2024 at 08:58 #60928The crossover can not introduce a signal. It’s all passive.
All sounds come from the amp.But it could be, that the diaphragm wasn’t properly centered, so it now rubs on the magnet or center pole piece.

I am posting the solution here in case anyone else has the same issue. I solved the problem by better isolating the tweeter diaphragms’ speaker wires. When replacing the diaphragms, the wires must run down a metal channel on the front of the tweeter plate. I was isolating the wires in this channel with heat shrink tubing, but I also needed to ensure the thin wires weren’t coming into contact with the edges of the round center cutout.
You can prevent contact with very thin heat shrink tubing or electrical tape.
