> S700 - can high volume damage the speaker?
Bookmark topic
Is it possible to somehow damage the speaker on the back of the phone by playing sounds back at high volumes, when it begins to distort?

Well, it sounds like it could be damaging, but the chances are that it is not, because I am sure that
would not make a speaker volume control that can damage itself because that would be a bit pointless.
But there is a chance, I don't play things too loud on my K700 or my V800 because I would hate to break them. Although a softer sound I will play loud.

If the speaker starts distorting, why continue listening at that volume? It might not be damaging, but who would like to hear distorted music? I would suggest to set the volume at a decent level where the sound is loud enough and it doesn't distort either.

I think it won't damage it.
I'm sure SE didn't put in a speaker that couldn't handle the max output power of the audio chip.

Actually, if you look at the Specs of the Phone, it will give you a clue as to whether it will destory. You can download them from the deveopers section, if you register. It tells you clearly the capabilities of the speaker of different phones. As far as i know, the S700, Z1010, and the P910 have slightly better response, especially in the bass part, but in all, all the phones are not particularly good across all frequencies. The minimum is about 160/200hz, and tops out at 16Khz or somethign like that. It is far more weighted towards treble than bass.
the best thing to do, if you have a decent sound editing tool (Nero Wave editor is usable), is to load the MP3 into the tool, crop it to the right size, then apply a equaliser cut-off to match what is on the SE document. afterwards, normalise the song to 90% (you can try 95%, but there will be some slight distortion).
This shoudl provide a nice clean sound, with little or no distortion, and because you are keepign within the specs of the speaker, you are less likely to cause damage.

I thought we were talking about quantity not quality.
The question is if the max input of the speakers is superior than the max output of the chip. PERIOD!
If so, no harm can be done.

Not usually. Yet it is likely to add jarring sound polluting its quality.

It seems the source of our distortion may not be the speaker at all. Open your shutter then play it loud...
The shutter gates vibrate against each other when closed! Who saw that one coming? I'm not impressed.
