Hearing Loud and Clear with Sony Audio Speaker Parts and Components
While many sound systems come as integrated machines with both audio drivers and speakers embedded in the same piece of hardware, more high-end audiophile equipment like Sony's can have multiple parts. In particular, surround sound systems can have multiple speakers, and each of those speakers can have multiple parts within. Over time, these parts can wear, and you may ultimately need some Sony replacement speakers in order to keep your sound system working smoothly.
What kinds of Sony speakers have replacement parts?There are many Sony speakers available on eBay, but some of the more common models that you may find include:
- HTX9000F - This Sony surround sound system focuses on a 2.1-channel soundbar but also includes a wireless subwoofer, so you can feel bass frequencies.
- N9200WL: This Blu-ray home cinema system features 5 magnetic fluid speakers and pairs with a subwoofer. Within the magnetic fluid speakers, ultra-high frequency WD Super Tweeters accurately deliver treble to your viewing area.
- V82D: This all-in-one sound system features 360-degree sound via four mid-range speakers, each angled to provide sound to a different part of the room without phasing with each other. There's also the Jet Bass Booster, which provides crisp bass evenly throughout a room.
- SA-D10: The SA-D10 is a unique 4.1-channel speaker system, designed to work with both TVs and computers. As a system designed to work across different electronics, the Sony SA-D10's spare parts offered quite a bit of versatility for plug-in options, including USB connections and regular aux cord options.
Because Sony speaker systems have multiple components, there are quite a few replacement parts available. Some of the more common parts you may expect to find include:
- Gasket: This part is a ring that fits snugly against the mainframe of a speaker. Here, it's able to act as a spacer between the edge of a speaker cone and the more durable speaker shell. This keeps frequencies from resonating and buzzing but can sometimes crack from old age. By replacing a cracked gasket, you'll keep sound quality high.
- Voice coils: This electromagnet generates the vibration necessary to move the speaker, providing the air pressure for music to play. If overused, these can burn out and stop working as well.
- Replacement cones: Speaker cones will begin to deteriorate over time, reducing sound quality and ultimately stopping music from playing at all. Replacement cones can bring the speakers back to life without an issue.
There are three steps to help you understand which Sony speaker parts to purchase:
- Check your product number. By doing this, you'll know what product manual to look at for information.
- Look at the product manual to troubleshoot the problem. You'll find tips on the parts that may be at fault.
- Consult the manual to find product serial numbers. With this information, you'll be able to dial in on the exact replacement part to order.
