Infinity Renaissance 80 speaker fell, now EMIM and EMITs not working

[universalcat]

So unfortunately my left channel Ren 80 took a good tumble about 3 ft to the floor...
Ever since the Tweeter and Mid-range EMIM and EMIT ribbon speakers arent working. No sound is coming out of them at all. (The woofer sounds fine.)

Is this a crossover issue? Think I could fix it? I don't know how to solder but if it will save me $100's I'll try to learn! What should I do?

Thanks for your help

Did you remove them and see if their wires are attached to the Crossovers?

Not yet, I assume I access their wires from the front?

Yes remove the speakers carefully...take your time...

You might also want to remove the woofer and be able to access better use a flash light

If there's no visible damage to the drivers and they didn't hit anything directly, then your problem is probably inside (and likely a less expensive fix).

ETA: check the back panel to make sure both jumper straps are tightly attached.

I'd start with the shorting straps on the back. the High energy EMIT and High energy EMIM are rare as hens teeth. Hopefully you didn't dislodge the magnets.

Good luck!

With dislodged magnets, I think you'd still get some sound, unless they were dislodged onto the floor.
