Removal of the midrange unit – TQ-445DP

If the midrange drive unit requires maintenance, it will first be necessary to remove the amplifier module. The midrange driver is held in place by a M10 x 25mm bolt through the rear of the cabinet into the back plate of the drive unit underneath the amplifier module. Once this is released the midrange horn and drive unit assembly can be removed.

Remove the amplifier module as described below and set it aside.

The M10 bolt securing the midrange driver will now be accessible in a recess in the enclosure rear panel. Using a 17mm socket, unscrew the bolt and set aside for later re-assembly.

The midrange horn is secured through the mounting flange with four #10 x 1/12” pan head wood screws. Unscrew these and lift out the horn and driver assembly.

Disconnect the cables, making a note of the polarity, and carefully lift the driver clear.
