What is “Signal Burn”?
Signal burn is a failure mode where the voice coil is burnt across its
entire width, indicating uniform voice coil travel with respect to the stationary magnet
structure. Such a burn pattern is not indicative of amplifier malfunction but instead is due to
xcessive signal or program level. The cause is simply trying to get more from the speaker
than it is capable of delivering.
