Tivoli iPAL: Speaker replacement for iPAL

Sun, 12 Oct 2025 06:11:43 -0700

Hi!

I have an old (from about 2000) iPAL which I love very much :-) Now it seems that the speaker is not doing well anymore. By either listening from the radio or the AUX input the sound is very distorted. I tried with headphones and it's fine.

I have already opened it and the speaker is a 3 W 4 Ohm, it seems to be 2.5inch diameter. And it has a relatively small (in diameter) magnet so that it can fit in the small space with the electronic board.

I don't want to take the risk buying a speaker that will physically not fit. Does anybody knows if I can find a replacement that will fit well?

Thanks in advance!

Carlo

Tivoli iPAL: 12V on a 9V iPAL :-(

Sat, 24 May 2025 09:43:13 -0700

Dear all,

My wife and I have two iPAL's. Mine is older, runs on a 12V charger. My wife's is younger, runs on 9V. I did not know that, until i charged my wife's with 12V. The radio is dead now :-(. According the helpdesk of Tivoli the speaker might be damaged. I doubt that. Anyone an idea? thanks!!!

Any suggestions?

Tivoli iPAL: My iPAL was over charged and needs new diodes do you know the value D8

Sun, 11 Sep 2022 17:16:49 -0700

My iPAL was overcharged and diodes 1 2 8 were cooked do you know the values of D1, D2, and D8? The battery pack is charged by a 12v 500mA supply but was connected to a 19v 2A one by mistake. I found someone who knew the value of D1 and D2 being 1N4002.

Tivoli iPAL: Step down dc battery but have ability to charge it

Sun, 26 Apr 2020 12:13:54 -0700

I have a Sony self power by amp inside the same box of the woofer. It is from a house system. I do not have that unit, just the speaker.

I want to drill into the same box of the woofer

And add about 4 mid ranges and two tweeters and if possible have those extra speakers powered by the same amp of the woofer. Can the woofer be powered by a DC battery? If so, all I have is an E-go 56 volt DC. Battery pack. Can this pack be stepped down and be used. And finally all this is to be controlled by blutooth How do I do this Thank you Dave.
