Crossover

The electro-acoustic crossover point is 1.5 kHz. The final slope is 24 dB per octave for the woofer and 18 dB per octave for the tweeter.

Infrasonic filtering is present at the initial rate of 12 dB per octave, and at the final rate of 24 dB per octave. (The -3 dB filter point is at 40 Hz, and the -10 dB point is at 26 Hz.)

There are no multiple-feedback filters. All filters are implemented using simple gain stages, unity gain buffers, and passive filter circuits for maximum signal clarity and sonic precision.

No filter ringing, all filter stages critically damped.

High quality parts are used in the filter circuits. All poly caps are used in the filters.

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-amplification 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-amplification option, bi-amplification often provides more actual sound output capability and better reliability than merely bridging an amplifier.
