Speaker Distorted After Water Exposure

Speaker sounds distorted and fuzzy after water exposure? How to clear moisture dampening voice coils and test for hardware damage.

Start audio tests at low volume; stop for distortion. Tones cannot guarantee removal of water or repair internal damage. Do not charge a wet device.

Liquid clinging to speaker cones adds uneven mass, causing asymmetric cone excursion. This produces severe total harmonic distortion (THD). Expelling the water restores symmetric driver movement.
