Cutoff Frequency

The cutoff frequency is the design frequency of the highpass filter, and is only approximately representative of the location of the magnitude peak. In the ISP-100 the cutoff frequency is continuously variable from 20 Hz to 20 kHz.

AllPass Filters

AllPass Filters shift phase without altering magnitude. The allpass filters supplied with the ISP-100 are designed to provide phase compensation for multiway Linkwitz-Riley crossover networks. The 1st-order allpass filters compensate for 2nd-order (12 dB/octave) Linkwitz-Riley crossovers; the 2nd-order allpass filters compensate for 4th-order (24 dB/octave) Linkwitz-Riley crossovers.

A detailed explanation of the use of allpass compensation may be found in “Active Realization of Multiway All-Pass Crossover Systems” by Joseph A. D’Appolito; Journal of the Audio Engineering Society, Volume 35, Number 4, April 1987.

In the ISP-100 allpass filters the filter order is selectable from 1st- order and 2nd-order.

In the ISP-100 allpass filters the center frequency is continuously variable from 20 Hz to 20 kHz.

Filter Type

To change settings, click on the arrow next to the entry in the text box. A selection list will appear. The list may or may not be scrollable. To make a selection click on the desired entry.

Active Band

To change settings, click on the arrow next to the number in the text box. A selection list will appear. The list may or may not be scrollable. To make a selection click on the desired entry.

Bypass

The Bypass control bypasses an individual filter band. If the LED on the button is gray, then the filter band is active. If the LED on the button is red, then the filter band is bypassed.

Bypass Control (master)

This button determines if the component is in the processing chain. If the LED on the button is gray, then the component is inserted into the signal processing chain. If the LED is red, then the component is bypassed in the signal processing chain. A bypassed component will be colored red in the QuickMAP.

Frequency in Hz

The center frequency of a filter can be adjusted three ways:
