Passive crossovers and speaker impedance. Archived from groups: rec.audio.pro () Hi, what would be the likely effect of someone having replaced a 4 ohm bass driver with an 8 ohm one in a 2 way 4 ohm passive crossover speaker? Specifically, this is a...

You might be lucky. Stephen Archived from groups: rec.audio.high-end () Hi all again, I appreciate all the advice so far but I'm hell-bent on making a passive crossover for this setup. If someone can please tell me how to get the highest inductance...

have gone to great effort to > make my system purely digital... There are digital crossovers available; for example, Behringer makes them. If you are really interested in an all-digital system (preamp, crossovers, amps, speaker correction, room correction,...

results, the loss in the speaker cables should be less than 1-3% of the minimum impedance of the speaker. There's a procedure for sizing speaker wires posted at > Solid-core twisted-pair in-wall wire works great too. It's just tough > to manage it...

driver impedance correction as well, and ensure correct time alignment, and tweak the final system, and that it would be lots better with active crossovers (preferably digital), but there are still times when a simple passive crossover is the most useful...

even some studio monitor kits (see Vifa and Eton kits). But I'd still go with an active monitor. Why? Because passive crossovers are a necessary evil. They mess with the impedance, screw up the damping, route woofers' back-EMF to other components, and...

a first order low-pass network using a series inductor works because the relative impedance of the series inductor increases as a first order function of frequency, while that of the assumed resistive speaker impedance is constant with frequency. But the...
