  • Page 15: Using Passive Crossovers

    SING ASSIVE A passive crossover is a circuit that uses capacitors and/or coils and is placed on speaker leads between the amplifier and speaker. The crossover delegates a specific range of frequencies to the speaker for optimum driver performance. A crossover network can perform one of three functions: High-Pass (capaci- tors), Low-Pass (inductors or coils) and Bandpass (combination of capacitor and coil).
