How to fix monitor speakers that have a hum.

- In this video I show you how to solder new capacitors into a monitor speaker. This monitor speaker had a terrible buzz (60 Hz). For this video the Mackie MR8 was fixed but this repair can work on any monitor speaker or amplifier that has bad capacitors in it. Usually this situation presents as a bad hum. I have a list of tools used below as well as a link to the site I used to get the parts for this repair project. Have fun and don't forget to Love well!
*EDIT*
I apologize for the audio at 11:40, I essentially was just putting pressure on either side of the capacitor while heating that sides solder joint. Keep doing this back and forth and each leg will come out more and more until it finally pops free. Then work on the other one.

I've never been so glad to hear such an awful sound... Looking to do this repair on my mackies and we'll see if it is the same fix!
Hi I got one Adam A7X monitor that if it comes on the woofer foes not or if it does, it putters or it goes out again. I turn the virtusl console volume all the wsy up for one second snd it kicks in.... I dudpdct it is the input capacitors. Whst else vould it be? And how much to fix it.
The capacitors where also a Problem back in the 2000s with some abit boards.. there the caps just popped open.. i turned out some thieves stole the capacitor Fluid recipe from Japan, i Think it was panasonic...
and sold it to chyna factories.. but that recipe was missing a key ingredient.. it was some exotic chemical that kept the Fluid from generating hydrogen when powered up, which in Turn Made zhe caps blow..
thus millions of electronics went kaputt After only a couple years..
For me, i replaced them with the real Panasonic Brand and never had trouble again.. any repair i do is with panasonic caps .. those few Cents more for pan caps really dont matter.. to me atleast.. my recommendation for caps..
Great guide, thanks
@@geek3502 yeah, its a pleasure, i like the idea of my repair back then somehow is associated with a case of industrial espionage.. 😄✌
Ah, didnt thought about heart being a culprit.. but makes sense.. thx
Heart is another Problem.. heat is what i meant.. 😆
Sir i need the sec voltage of this transformer.. plese help
Hey can you let us know how to order the exact capacitor on Mouser? There's a ton of options and I'm certain I'm going to pick the wrong one.
Hi...ive got the similar issue with my MR8. can please advise which capacitor u used on the MR8...
Hey can you send me the link for the exact capacitors I need to order to fix my mackies ?
i replaced both capacitors and only my tweeter is working now i replaced it again just to make sure and only tweeter is working , have no idead what it is now and its all connected correctly and capacitors are facing correct way
Should you try to discharge any remaining power in them first before removing? Or are they old enough, where it’s not a concern?
Many thanks for amazing video
Plz help , I have this speakers ers 5 it's amazing speaker ,my problem is after some time work , it very very very hot from back of speakers , what's can I do , it is normal or what
There are a lot of different things it could be. Best to search google for the exact problem with the exact brand and model number.
@@geek3502 thanks
Hello, great repair. Do you have a link to the Capacitors you used in this repair? I will be attempting to fix the same issue on my Mackie monitor thanks to your video. Thank you!
Joshua Macfie great, thank you so much. Iv never purchased a capacitor before. Iv only ever done basic soldering. I’ll opening it up an get you the photos. Thank you.
Joshua Macfie hey buddy, so I was able to open up the mackie an de solder the two broken capacitors an take them down to our local electronics store an they matched them up for us. I just wanted to thank you for your video as you were the reason we were able to repair our unit. This saved us a ton of money in repair cost. So we can’t thank you enough. Your the best!
Yes, they fired right up with no problem. We used a box cutter to do long slices threw the glue holding them together an it made separating them so much easier. There back to sounding like the champions they are!
If you give me a photo of the actual capacitors that are in your unit, I can get you a link.
So glad to help. Y'all have a great day and don't forget to Love Well!
I’m having a problem on one monitor on Kali audio it sounds good but with in a minute or 2 it has a hard glitch and a scrape what’s the issue can u help solve this problem?
Same with me
Did you fix it?
@@damilarefreshy4535 yeah yeah I had to hit up Carrie audio and
I had to hit up Kali Audio n let them know well Was lucky I had insurance then send it out with free shipping on them at no cost and just had to be a lil patient about 2 weeks n they new monitors and a new sub woofer’s one thing I’ve learn even tho it took time as we live n learn from our mistakes when you spend from a couple of hundreds or more is get insurance on any of your gear 4reals4reals it will come in handy you just might never know when your gear or any product that you have my kind of stopped working we’re not worth the same but once you catch on just let them know boom and there you go they won’t be like losing your ticket drop it off for shipping on this and then you go🫡📰🙏🏽
