[QUOTE="Ivan Beaver, post: 141945, member: 30"] Re: Danley SH96HO Maybe this will help somewhat. I am not talking about the mid/high crossover here, but rather the low mid crossover point when in biamped mode. The HP on the mids is 300Hz, and the lowpass on the woofers is 600Hz. This DOES NOT IN ANY WAY suggest that the acoustical response of either of these bands will be measured as going to those points and falling off. The lows fall off MUCH sooner than 600hz. This is due to both the acoustic low pass filters in the cabinet and the large self inductance of the woofers voice coils. The mids don't go that low. The passive HP on the mids is still in the circuit when in the biamped mode. The ELECTRICAL filters are where they are to get the best PHASE response. But if people simply look at the "simple numbers", they would "think" that the crossovers are all wrong, would start to second guess the numbers. In a loudspeaker is the COMPLEX SUM of the individual working together, NOT each section simply added together. OK OK-I know that mathematically the sum is adding individuals together-but I could not think of a better way to say it. So let's not go down that road------- Again-I am not trying to be an ass or a jerk-just presenting the facts and that "simple numbers" DO NOT describe what is actually going on. [/QUOTE]
