FrSky Taranis Speaker Upgrade

At this point I think I've seen more of the inside of my Taranis than the outside. So here's another Taranis mod; not really a very important one but a simple one. The internal speaker of the Taranis isn't really the nicest thing to listen to so I thought I'd put a better one in. I found a little 1 W 8 ohm 36mm speaker on eBay for about $4 which is a bit bigger than the one in the from the factory but it will still fit with the help of a little hot glue. So here's the steps.

Step 1.
Open the Taranis up and unplug the stock speak and pull it out. Here's mine next to its replacement.


Step 2.
Now unsolder the connectors from the stock speaker and solder them onto the new one.


Step 3.
Trim off the little studs around the speaker mounting ring.


Step 4. Apply a little hot glue to mount the new speaker and plug it in.


Step 5.
Put the Taranis back together and fire it up!
