Introduction
This report is about the design of a two-way crossover laud speakers. The major task is the building of the circuit diagram.
In the design, I have ensured that the 12dB crossover follows the Linkwitz-Riley alignment. This is achieved through the use of a sub-Bessel filter whose Q is 0.5 instead of the common Butterworth alignment resulting from a Q of 0.707.
At the crossover frequency, the Butterworth crossovers have a 3dB peak. This is the main problem of such crossovers. This problem occurs when the outputs are acoustically or electrically summed. With a filter whose Q is 0.5, the signal is ...
