To calculate the resistor value for a frequency not on the chart use the following:
3386
f
o
= R (in kΩ) for .047µf cap
= R (in kΩ) for .022µf cap
7234
f
o
Where: R = Ω
f
o
= desired crossover frequency
c = capacitor in farads
ex: .047 x 10
-6
for .047mf cap
The actual formula is: R =
1
2πf
o
c
Butterworth Alignment Q = .707
1% resistors used with 0.047µF capacitors
Butterworth Alignment Q = .707
1% resistors used with 0.022µF capacitors
