I have a telephone headset that I looked into with the idea of replacing the speaker since it is wanting for volume a bit at it's highest setting. I opened the ear cup to measure the impedance and I was just going to replace it with one from another headset with different impedance (lower impedance will give more volume with a little more tax on the circuitry. do i have this right?)
When I got into the earcup I found two diodes across the little speaker terminals. One pointing neg, the other pointing pos like some cancellation circuit. I'm guessing that these are for reducing 'pops' and 'clicks' and such in the ear, but maybe I'm wrong. Could they affect the sound level? Can I just ditch them with impunity?
Thanks so much.
