8-14

implementation of Linkwitz-Riley crossovers, for which the ISP-100 has been optimized. The filters marked optional in Figure 8-5 will be explained in the Linkwitz-Riley Crossover section, below.

The lowpass filters LPx (except for the optional LP2) and the highpass filters HPx may each be independently configured as:

Bessel 6 dB/octave (1st-order)

Bessel 12 dB/octave (2nd-order)

Bessel 18 dB/octave (3rd-order)

Bessel 24 dB/octave (4th-order)

Butterworth 6 dB/octave (1st-order)

Butterworth 12 dB/octave (2nd-order)

Butterworth 18 dB/octave (3rd-order)

Butterworth 24 dB/octave (4th-order)

Linkwitz-Riley (Butterworth-Squared) 12 dB/octave (2nd-order) Linkwitz-Riley (Butterworth-Squared) 24 dB/octave (4th-order)

In addition, the cutoff frequency, attenuation, and polarity in the low band, the mid band, and the high band may be independently adjusted, and all of the filters in any band may be bypassed entirely.

The cutoff frequency in each filter is continuously variable from 20 Hz to 20 kHz.

The attenuation in each band is continuously variable from -96 dB to 0 dB, plus mute.

The polarity in each band is selectable as + or - (in-phase or out-of- phase).

Each band may be bypassed, in which case all of the crossover filters in that band will be bypassed while the crossover filters in the other bands will not be affected.
