To a lot of people, crossovers seem like some alien technology. They are simple devices once you understand the basics behind. The challenge is with the drivers, and your ears, will discuss this below.
Disclaimer:
this article does not try to cover the exact technical aspects of the subject.
It is designed to make you, your kids and Grandma understand the
principles. Here at The Audiophile DIY we are also not big fans of lazy people.
We can help, but if you want to master the subject, now that you understand how
it works, and hopefully you have an idea of what you want, Google is your best
friend.
Basic knowledge
required: the standard audio spectrum is 20Hz-20KHz. From 20Hz to 250Hz is the bass area, 3KHz to
20KHz is the tweeter area. Everything in between is the mid area. The middle
area can be broken into many pieces and is the main part of everything we hear, I
usually use low mids, mids, and high mids.
Why do we need crossovers?
