Detailed Parameters
Lowpass, Highpass or band pass filter with adjustable frequency and slope. The Dual filter is
a case that splits the signal with a filter on each channel. The Crossover options are grouped
into 2, 3 or 4 band categories. Each Crossover give control of 1, 2 or 3 crossover points respec-
tively. A crossover point is where the Lowpass and Highpass filter meet. The user may con-
trol the Lowpass edge, Highpass edge or both using the Center fc parameter. The Crossover
type allows selection of Butterworth, Bessel or Linkwitz-Riley filter types with roll-off or slopes
of 6-24dB/Octave (Butterworth and Bessel) or 12-48dB/Octave (Linkwitz-Riley). In traditional
analog Crossovers using Linkwitz-Riley filters, the low and high frequencies and slopes are set
equal. With the Crossover menu, the following parameters are available with various

Crossovers.

A complete diagram of each crossover used in the 480, 481 and 482 DriveRack™ units can
be found in section A.7 of the Appendix.
