How to fix monitor speakers that have a hum.

In this video I show you how to solder new capacitors into a monitor speaker. This monitor speaker had a terrible buzz (60 Hz). For this video the Mackie MR8 was fixed but this repair can work on any monitor speaker or amplifier that has bad capacitors in it. Usually this situation presents as a bad hum. I have a list of tools used below as well as a link to the site I used to get the parts for this repair project. Have fun and don't forget to Love well!

*EDIT*
I apologize for the audio at 11:40, I essentially was just putting pressure on either side of the capacitor while heating that sides solder joint. Keep doing this back and forth and each leg will come out more and more until it finally pops free. Then work on the other one.
