Get peace of mind from Role Audio with our new five-year transducer replacement policy.


New transferable five-year transducer (driver) replacement policy
(effective 9/15/06)


With our new five-year transducer replacement policy you don't have to listen to your music system on pins and needles worrying that something might break. In addition to our standard 10 year product warranty we now have a five-year driver replacement policy. The policy is transferable and covers one time replacement of all transducers in your Role Audio loudspeakers up to five (5) years after purchase of your Role Audio Loudspeaker system.

The Basic Idea

Say something weird happens, like your amplifier goes haywire and fries all the transducers in your Role Audio loudspeakers, or your toddler fiddles with your system and turns the volume on your 500 watt per channel amplifier to the maximum and fries all the drivers. Don't panic, we will replace all the transducers free. No handling charge. No hidden costs. All you will pay for is the actual cost of shipping the speakers to and from us.

Our five-year transducer replacement policy covers onetime replacement of all the transducers in your loudspeaker system, or replacement of each transducer up to the full complement of transducers in the system. For example, if you own a pair of Windjammers, our five-year no fault transducer replacement policy will cover replacement of two woofers and two tweeters. (Of course, if something happens that is our fault, our 10 year warranty policy applies. See the bottom of this page.) Our new five-year transducer replacement policy covers the drivers in all Role Audio loudspeakers sold after July 1, 2007.

Prorated transducer replacement policy

If you bought Role Audio loudspeakers in the last two years before July 1, 2008, relax, we will not leave you high and dry. We are offering you a prorated transducer replacement policy for a nominal fee of $75. Say you bought your loudspeakers two years before September 1, the $75 fee will cover the remaining three years of the five years transducer replacement period. And if you sell your loudspeakers, the balance of the coverage period is transferable to the new owner, which should increase the value of your loudspeakers. You can fill out our PDF Registration Card and return it by mail with your check for $75 or you may fax the completed Registration card or send it as an email attachment.

Questions you might ask

Are we planning to raise our prices to offset the costs of our new no fault original transducer replacement policy?
No. We have not raised our prices in anticipation of implementing the new policy and we do not plan to increase prices to cover the costs of the new policy. We reserve the right of course to implement price increases as we see fit.

Are there hidden charges such as handling charges?
Absolutely not. There are no hidden charges. There may be charges involved for packaging if the loudspeakers are shipped to us in inadequate packaging that we deem unfit for shipping the speakers safely to you. In that case we will notify you prior to making any decisions and will charge you a nominal charge for new packaging.

Does the new policy apply to all Role Audio loudspeakers?
Yes, even the Skiffs

Are there special requirements you must follow to ship the loudspeakers back to us?
Yes. First, you must be enrolled in the program. Second, you must call or email us to get authorization to ship the speakers to us, and, third, you must ship to us via United Parcel Service or get permission and instructions to ship via another carrier. Moreover, you must insure your loudspeakers for the full retail value, which is protection for you against damage that can occur in transit.

What if you ship the speakers to us and there is no damage?
Then you are responsible for paying all shipment cost just as if the speakers were damaged and it is not our fault.

If we replace all the transducers in your loudspeakers, are the replacement transducers covered by our five-year no fault transducer replacement policy?
No. Our five-year replacement policy only covers replacement of the total number of transducers. Thereafter, the terms of our standard ten year warranty apply.

What if when you need repair the transducers are discontinued?
We maintain a stock of replacement drivers so most likely replacing your loudspeaker transducers will not be an issue. However, in the event replacement transducers are not available, we will replace all the transducers with equivalent ones or in the worst case scenario offer to replace your loudspeakers with new loudspeakers of equivalent performance and value.

How can we offer this policy?
We can offer this policy because we have one of the most rigorous quality control programs in the industry and because the transducers we use are extremely well made and durable. Our quality control tests do not only rely on electronic measurements. We listen to every loudspeaker before it leaves our factory, because problems that may not show up on electronic tests show up in listening tests.

How do you become enrolled in our new five-year no fault transducer replacement program?
Because the program is a separate program from our product warranty program, you must register for the program by completely filling out our loudspeaker registration (warranty) card and send it to us with proof of purchase such as a sales slip. We will send you a confirmation certificate.

Please Note:
Whether or not you enroll in the new five-year no fault transducers replacement program, your Role Audio loudspeakers are covered by our standard 10 year warranty.

We reserve the right to terminate the new five-year no fault original transducer replacement program at any time. If we terminate the program we will honor the terms of the program for people who are already enrolled.


Role Audio Warranty
All ROLE AUDIO loudspeakers
are intended for use in music and home theater systems and are warranted against defects in materials and workmanship that occur in normal use for ten (10) years from the date of original purchase.

ROLE AUDIO will repair, replace or adjust defective parts for the original owner without charge for parts or labor, provided the loudspeaker is returned at the owner's cost to the dealer from which it was purchased or to ROLE AUDIO.

This warranty does not apply to damage that results from abuse or misuse, accidents including those that occur during shipping, and any damage that results from repair or modification by anyone not specifically authorized to make repairs by ROLE AUDIO.

In order to claim coverage under this warranty, you must provide proof of purchase in the form of a sales slip or proof of product registration with ROLE AUDIO. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may have other rights which vary from state to state.
