I am trying to convert this design from passive to active crossover (miniDSP). Crossover Points & Order At the crossover point, power to each loudspeaker is reduced -3 dB (1/2) so total sound energy is 1. There are variations to the Model T design, from the baseline passive model to one with active external crossovers. Electronic active crossovers can have extra compensating circuitry. There are a number of advantages to Resolv active monitors. Its internal active crossover and custom-designed dual amplifiers ensure an extremely consistent performance under a variety of different studio conditions and program material. I note that you featured an Active Crossover design in the January 2003 issue. And, as the title will tell you, i am totally new to all this DIY speaker crossover lark. The crossovers are designed such that there is a stepping point from passive to fully active system. I believe the title says it all. I have designed an active crossover using two 2nd order linkwitz riley filters Q= 0.5 cutoff freq. Now the signals after the crossover go into. Also I don't know why the new pair runs hotter even though they are exact same design. At the crossover point More recent design trends are for power to be decreased to -6 dB (1/4) to each loudspeaker at the crossover point, and the slope rate can be selected. However, the noise and distortion figures of the crossover would negate the advantages of the Class-A Stereo Amplifier. In some passive crossovers this is adjusted for by reversing the polarity of adjacent loudspeakers. My plan was to trace the transfer function shown on the website, convert to biquad and insert in DSP. 28/12/07 - Completed active crossover setup. Now I need a second pair of gainclones to make sure all frequency matched! Oh no,not another active crossover build thread!
