Four-Way Crossover Plugins - miniDSP EQ901 Series User Manual

Four-way crossover plugins

A four-way crossover splits the frequency spectrum of a single input channel into up to four distinct bands.
Frequency bands can overlap if needed, as all crossover filters are independently specified. Two miniDSP 2x4
units or miniDSP kits are needed for stereo, as shown in this diagram (a protection capacitor on each tweeter is
optional but generally recommended):
2x4 Advanced The new 2x4 crossover plugin provides parametric EQ on both inputs and on all four outputs,
fully independent crossovers/filters with a wide range of filter slopes (up to 48 dB/octave) on all
four outputs, and a matrix mixer. Three-way and four-way active loudspeakers are among the
wide range of applications supported by this plugin. For more information, see the datasheet.
4way Advanced
The 4way Advanced plugin provides parametric EQ on one input channel and on all four output
channels, as well as fully-independent crossovers with a wide range of filter slopes up to 48
dB/octave. It is typically used to build a fully active three-way or four-way active loudspeaker
(two miniDSP hardware units required for stereo). For more information, see the datasheet.
Note: in most applications, this plugin is superseded by the 2x4 Advanced plugin (see above).
