The XM44 Electronic Crossover Network is a very flexible
crossover design that provides individual outputs for 1, 2, 3 or 4
frequency bands on the 1- 2- 3- and 4-way models respectively. The
crossover frequency of XM44 Electronic Crossover Network can
easily be set by replacing frequency modules. Each frequency
module has the capacitors and resistors that set the crossover
frequency and slope for that channel. Normal slope is 24 dB/oct,
4th order, constant voltage, but modules for first, 2nd, 3th, 4th,
5th, 6th, 7th and 8th order slopes are also available. When
choosing slopes of 24 dB/octave and 48 dB/octave the high-pass and
low-pass outputs of the crossover are always in phase with each
other (Linkwitz-Riley alignment). Note that the slopes on the low,
mid and high channels can be different, so asymmetrical slopes are
possible. For example, a 2-way XM44 can easily be set with 6
dB/oct on the high pass and 18 dB/oct on the low pass by choosing
appropriate frequency modules. One set of frequency modules is
included whith the XM44 crossover. Muting relays ensure there are
no transients during turn-on or turn-off.
Optional plug-in modules are also available for special features
like delay, bass boost(Linkwitz transform), baffle step
compensation and notch filter.
The XM44 is available as a 1-way version, 2-way version, 3-way
version and a 4-way version.
The XM44front panel has 1, 2, 4 or 6 calibrated level controls
(for left and right ) for each channel. The level controls are 12
position stepped attenuators with 1 dB steps. This allows for very
precise and repeatable setting of the output levels. A sum switch
allows the low pass channels to be summed. This is useful when
using the XM44 with a common subwoofer.
Options for the XM44 include balanced inputs/outputs. Rackmount
brackets are also available.
Also available an an option are 24 position stepped attenuators
instead of the standard 12 position attenuators for level control.
These 24 position stepped attenuators are calibrated in 0.5 dB
steps and allow very accurate setting of the levels for each
output.

Here are some pictures of the fully balanced 2-way version of the
XM44, the XM44-2FB (click on images for large view)
The XM44-2FB has indicidual crossover sections for +(xlr pin2) and
-(xlr pin3) signals. 24 pos attenuators are standard. No RCA
connectors.
Ideal for custom installing into other equipment, like
amplifiers, etc. The XM44EMB has two channels on a single circuit
board. Each channel takes one or two XM44 frequency modules. This
allows each channel to be hi-pass, low-pass, bandpass, etc. Each
channel has an input that can be configured as single ended or
balanced. The outputs are single ended only. There is an output
level control adjustment for each or the two channels. The board
needs dual +/-15Volt supply (+/-6V to +/-18V is acceptable).
Supply voltage can be from +/-6V to +/-18V. The size of the
circuit board is 2.5" x 5.5". Total height, includung 0.5"
mounting standoffs and the frequency modules, is 2.5".
