Our Restoration Process
At Dixie Speaker, we pride ourselves on delivering exceptional craftsmanship to restore speakers and cabinets to their original brilliance.
1) Initial Consultation and Assessment
During this stage, we:
- Inspect for visible wear, damage, or missing components.
- Test sound quality and functionality to identify specific issues.
- Discuss your restoration goals, such as maintaining original specifications or incorporating custom modifications.
2) Disassembly and Cleaning
Once we receive your speaker, our team carefully disassembles it to inspect internal components.
- Each piece is thoroughly cleaned to remove dust, debris, and any residue that may affect sound quality or structural integrity.
- We use specialized tools to preserve delicate components.
- Every piece is cleaned with precision, ensuring no damage to original materials.
3) Component Repair and Replacement
Next, we repair or replace damaged parts to restore full functionality. This includes:
Reconing: Replacing worn or damaged cones for optimal sound quality.
Rewiring: Upgrading or repairing internal wiring for a clear signal path.
Voice Coil Repairs: Replacing or fixing coils to handle power effectively.We use high-quality materials that match the original specifications, ensuring the restoration maintains the speaker’s authentic sound profile.
4) Cabinet Refinishing
A speaker’s cabinet is just as important as its internal components. We carefully restore or refinish the cabinet to preserve its original beauty.
This includes:
- Repairing cracks, chips, or structural issues.
- Sanding, staining, or repainting to match the original finish.
- Polishing metal components, such as grills and hardware.
5) Reassembly and Testing
After all repairs and refinishing are complete, we reassemble the speaker with precision. Rigorous testing follows to ensure the restored speaker meets our high standards for sound quality and durability.
Testing includes:
- Audio output evaluation to confirm clarity and performance.
- Ensuring all components are securely in place.
6) Final Delivery
Once your speaker passes our quality assurance checks, it’s ready for delivery or pickup. We provide instructions for maintaining your restored speaker to ensure long-lasting performance and beauty.
