Hey everyone

I have Mackie HR824 monitors and a 2.5 year old son at home. This morning, he pushed in the small domes in the center of the bottom cones on the speakers. Does anyone know:

1. what effect this would have on the sound?
2. is it possible to "repair" this by getting inside the monitor and pushing the domes back out?

Thanks for any help

Speaker costs about 250 to replace. My Babies did the same thing

Didnt mess up my sound though.

They are really just dust covers and shouldn't mess with the sound really, unless you have dog hearing. I fixed the same problem once with a guitar string that i bent in the shape of a hook. It was a .16 (g string on a set of tens). I punctured a tiny tiny hole in the middle, bent the string, put it in and pulled the dent out. It worked like a charm, and saved a bunch of cash. hope this helps

I can tell if people I don't know that well (say at a party with common friends) have kids by looking at their speaker cones . I look at them, then their poked in cones, then at them and say "Kids, huh?" LOL.

Hey, I poked my parent's cones in when I was a kid. It's just irresistible for someone under 10 years old
