Crossover
The electro-acoustic crossover point is 1.5 kHz. The nal slope is 24 dB per octave for the woofer and 18
dB per octave for the tweeter.
Infrasonic ltering is present at the initial rate of 12 dB per octave, and at the nal rate of 24 dB per
octave. (The -3 dB lter point is at 40 Hz, and the -10 dB point is at 26 Hz.)
There are no multiple-feedback lters. All lters are implemented using simple gain stages, unity gain
buffers, and passive lter circuits for maximum signal clarity and sonic precision.
No lter ringing, all lter stages critically damped.
High quality parts are used in the lter circuits. All poly caps are used in the lters.
Response tailored to the acoustic output of the speakers, so the sum of the electrical and acoustic out-
puts provides an acoustic total response that is more precise and stable.
Bi-amping:
Bi-amplication is the splitting of the full range sound signal into high frequency and low frequency
components, similar to what the passive internal crossover is doing inside the speaker. However,
bi-amping is done at line level via an electronic crossover circuit and fed to two separate power amp
channels. When using full range speakers with a bi-amplication option, bi-amplication often provides
more actual sound output capability and better reliability than merely bridging an amplier.
