Zingali Twenty 1.12 speaker repair

Thought I heard a resonance in my speakers the other night (around 1khz) but let it slide however heard it again today so out came the ferquency sweep test and yep I was right....grrr I hate resonances!

So the next challenge was to figure out how these came apart so I could check for any issues inside (which can sometimes be the internal wiring vibrating on a side panel or a loose crossover component or speaker driver) and anyone who has owned or seen the Zingalis before knows these are not quite conventional speakers and it was difficult to work out how to remove the drivers but I soon figured it out and had them apart in a matter of minutes.

Once apart these are very easy to work on and I soon found the issue which was fairly loose screws on the 12" driver. A quick tighten ans it's all sorted (great).

Anyway here's some pics to show what's inside. As you can see it's all pretty basic stuff so nothing remotely exotic in these at all which is fine as these are easily one of the best speakers I have heard at any price.

Interesting, Many thanks for the pics.

Always love seeing how companies make their stuff.

 

Looks like they've put cores into the inductor.

My thoughts are it would be very easy to upgrade the crossover.

Just saw this thread and thought for a moment I'd sold you a lemon

 

Glad to see it was just a couple of screws loose... phew

Hiya , I know this is a super old thread but I’ve leant my zingali bookshelf speakers to a mate and they’ve just come back and the foam has to be replaced on the driver . The photos are gone on how to get into them . Any chance on reposting the images if available . Thanks Justin . Or even just some pointers ...
