Steep 24 dB/octave slope.
Crossover frequencies available: 10 - 20000 Hz.
Outputs are always in phase.
Small 2" x 3" circuit board.
Fourth order constant voltage design (Linkwitz-Riley alignment).
The XM1 electronic crossover network module is a
fourth order constant voltage crossover design. The
module provides both low-pass and high-pass outputs.
The slope of both outputs is 24 dB/octave. Because of
the fourth order design the high-pass and low-pass
outputs of the crossover are always in phase with each
other. The crossover network is implemented as a fourth
order state variable filter. This filter provides both the
high-pass and low-pass function simultaneously,
guaranteeing a near perfect match of the high-pass and
low-pass responses.
One crossover network is needed for each channel of
a bi-amplified system. A tri-amplified system needs two
networks per channel,one to separate the high
frequencies from the mid-low frequencies and another
one to separate the low and mid frequencies. A quad
system needs 3, and so on. The filter can also be used
to drive a subwoofer, where the subwoofer is shared by
the two channels of the stereo system. The crossover frequency of the
XM1 electronic
crossover can easily be changed by changing the value
of four resistors. These four resistors are mounted on an
8 pin DIP header plug for ease of change. A trimmer
potentiometer on the circuit board allows for adjustment
of the frequency response at the crossover frequency. A
boost of up to 2 dB at the crossover frequency
compensates for a dip in the response at the crossover
frequency found in some systems.
The XM1 electronic crossover is built on a 2" X 3"
printed circuit board of high quality glass-epoxy material.
A silk screen on the component side makes assembly
very easy. The kit uses only high grade components: 1%
metal film resistors, 1% matched polystyrene film
capacitors for the filter capacitors and three dual FET
input operational amplifiers. Connectors for input, output
and power make for easy assembly.
The XM1 is available as a bare board, with only the PC
board and the assembly manual; as a kit, with all
needed components, including a set of cable
connectors; or completely assembled. The frequency
module consists of an 8 pin DIP header and 4 1% Metal
film resistors. The assembly manual is also available
separately.
