Crossover Connections

High-Passing the Midrange

The fanaticP Component Systems are optimized for full range music repro- duction. In cases where a subwoofer is used, the midrange can be high- passed in order to prevent overlapping frequncies from the midrange into the subwoofer.

1.Determine the frequency range that the subwoofer will play (i.e.: 20Hz- 80Hz).

2.Use the low-pass crossover frequency of the subwoofer system (i.e.: 80Hz) as the high-pass crossover frequency for the midrange.

3.Select the appropriate capacitor value (i.e.: 500µF) to properly high-pass the midrange.

4.Place the capacitor in series with the "+" terminal of the speaker.
