The steeper the slope, the more abruptly the "edges" of the pass band will drop off. There is no best filter slope for every application, so experiment to see which one sounds most pleasing in a specific system. Ashly factory default presets use all 24dB/octave Linkwitz-Riley filters in the crossover section, but of course they can be changed to suit the applica- tion. - Page 9 Operating Manual - PROTEA 4.8SP and 3.6SP System Processors Butterworth Butterworth filters individually are always -3dB at the displayed crossover frequency and are used because they have a "maximally flat" passband and sharpest transition to the stopband. When a Butterworth HPF and LPF of the same crossover frequency are summed, the combined response is always +3dB.
