Optical Compression Circuit

The supplied passive crossovers utilize an optical compression circuit for tweeter protection. This protection circuit absorbs the destructive signal caused when the amplifier's output is clipped. This greatly increases the power handling capability and the reliability of the tweeter.

THE RESULT: Increased tweeter reliability under harsh conditions.

Passive Filter Bypass

The TX-4186 utilizes an extra screw terminal on the crossover housing which allows the tweeters audio signal to “bypass” the internal passive filter. This feature allows an external active filter to be used while maintaining optical compression for tweeter reliability.

THE RESULT: System flexibility with constant tweeter protection.
