Please Suggest An Electronic Crossover

.
erik_squires …. I am looking to bypass the internal crossover in the Kappa 9 speakers.

 I am looking to improve on the existing internal crossover in the speaker.

Hey Mitch,

That's a good plan, but those crossovers are complicated.  They do more than simple low pass/high pass slopes but include impedance and frequency equalization.

You'll want a miniDSP for this. You'll also want to understand how the original crossovers worked though and I encourage you to learn to do a complete speaker analysis before attempting this. This isn't something you can do by ear so you'll need to have a measurement kit.

DIYaudio is a good place to go for help, far better than audiogon. If you go with Room EQ Wizard those forums are also going to be helpful.

Best,

Erik

Last bit of advice

A simple compromise, and one I encourage, is to start by making a hybrid.  Use a high level crossover to separate the bass from the rest of the drivers.

You'll need to bypasss the relevant high and low pass filter sections, but leaving the rest in place.

Try contacting MagicMarksy he will have a solution. 

I would be looking a MiniDSP with Dirac live and running an amplifier on each channel.Passive XOs would take a lot more skill, and probably…. Unless you are really good… the outcome would likely be better with the EQ of the MiniDSP.
