Low pass crossover setting & slope for Kappa 9?
I have a pair of Infinity Kappa9 speakers and need to buy a preset module for my AR EC22 crossover. I do know, that the Kappa9 spec sheet shows 80hz but that seems low for an external crossover and the specs do not show the slope speed, 12, 18 etc. I can obtain a 90hz with slope of 12 but not sure if this would be ok? I would like to know the exact setting and slope if possible. Thanks

Here is a link to an excellent Infinity site (in German) and the specific page for the Kappa 9, listing crossover points. http://www.infinity-classics.de/infinity/models/Kappa-series-1987/index-Kappa.htm |
Looking at the schematic, it would be easy to bypass the low-pass, wiring directly from the terminals to the woofers. Easily reversible. The high-pass can't be bypassed without digging into the PCB, which requires expertise. The low-pass is unusual, combining a low frequency filter and what looks like a 6db/oct, first order. The subsonic filter is optional if the amp is up to the challenge. Some active crossovers incorporate their own 20 Hz rolloff. A one or two ohm, high wattage series resistor can be added to increase impedance but gain will have to be adjusted. High pass (mid bass coupler) looks more like a backwards 18 db/oct bandpass. Crossover points could be asymmetric as well. |
