What's Causing Your Speakers to Crackle? Klipsch March 8, 2022 What's Causing Your Speakers to Crackle?

There’s nothing quite as frustrating as having your music or movies interrupted by sounds that aren’t part of the soundtrack. Quite often, this comes in the form of a crackling sound from one of your speakers. If you’ve ever had a similar issue, you know how annoying it can be. You want it fixed immediately. But, first, you must understand why it happened.

Where is that Crackling Coming From In Your Speaker?

Speaker crackling is almost always caused by a connection problem. Someplace between your amplifier and your speaker driver, there’s a bad wire which is causing the driver to move abruptly, causing interference. The challenge- the bad connection could be in a number of different places, some easier to address than others.

• The first thing to do is to check the wire connections between the amplifier and the terminals on the speaker itself. If the wire has a tendency to get moved around, perhaps by a cat or dog, it’s a possibility something has come loose. Even if there’s no real reason for the connections to change, check them anyway. You’ll feel really silly jumping ahead only to discover the issue was an easy fix.

What If There's No Obvious Speaker Connection Problem?

• Check connections inside the speaker. It’s possible a solder broke down over the period of usage and may now be in need of repair. Depending on your skillset, it may be something you’re able to fix. Odds are, the bad connection will be obvious once spotted, and hopefully, it’s as simple as reconnecting a loose cable.
