Introduction
This guide details the replacement of the right dome on a David Clark Over-Ear Headset, identified as a H10-36 model. The headset was acquired at a garage sale and shows signs of wear. The right dome exhibits a rattling sound, suggesting internal damage or loose parts. The crossover cable was previously repaired.
Tools Required:
- Flathead Screwdriver
- 2.5 mm Flathead Screwdriver
- Combination Pliers
Parts Required:
- Replacement Dome (1)
Step 1 - Right Dome
This headset requires replacement of both domes; this guide focuses on the right side. Missing retainer pins are evident. The image shows the headset, the area where retainer rings would normally secure the dome to the stirrup, and close-ups of the stirrup attachment points, one of which has initials.
Note: The user expresses curiosity about the previous owner and the meaning of the initials.
Step 2
Since the retainers are missing, the dome can be released by pulling upwards on the stirrup. This procedure is the same for the other side.
Step 3
The dome is now detached from the stirrup. The earseal is in good condition. The filter (foam) shows wear and markings. The earseal is held in place by a groove within the dome and can be removed by pulling it off.
Step 4
The earseal has been removed, revealing the filter. The next step is to remove the filter (foam) to expose the speaker. Another filter, layered around the speaker, also needs to be removed.
Step 5
After removing the first filter, another filter is visible around the speaker. The original headset is designed with three filters in total. The next filter should be removed, followed by the final filter situated beneath the speaker. The two screws securing the speaker to the dome are now clearly visible.
Step 6
The two slotted screws that attach the speaker to the dome are shown. These screws should be removed using a flathead screwdriver. Once the screws are loosened, the speaker can be lifted out of the dome.
Step 7
The speaker is flipped out of the dome to allow for the removal of the last filter. With the speaker and filter removed, damage to a standoff for the speaker becomes apparent. The speaker wires are secured by two slotted screws.
Step 8
Loosen the two screws to detach the speaker. Pull the speaker wire (overhead cord) towards the inside of the dome to release the cord clip. Using combination pliers, squeeze the two tabs of the cord clip to free the wire.
Step 9
This action will open the cord clip. Remove the cord clip. Pull the speaker wire (overhead cord) completely out of the dome.
Step 10
The damage to the speaker standoff is visible. The rubber grommet from the speaker cable opening needs to be removed. Use a jeweler's screwdriver to gently push the lip of the grommet out of the opening. The rubber grommet has now been removed.
Step 11
The old dome is shown, ready for replacement with a new one.
To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
