John Lenard Burnett 09/14/10 02:36 PM, 1 CommentThis article is provided by Lenard Audio. This article is a basic overview of crossovers. Next time we’ll take an in-depth look at passive crossovers, followed by active crossovers and then time alignment. Three octaves or 3.2 octaves (1 decade) is the optimum bandwidth for a speaker (a topic which we’ll touch on in a later article). The crossovers function is to decrease power at a given rate from either or both sides of a given bandwidth. The slopes… View this story

The MAX 10 high-frequency component employs a BMS driver made in Germany, while the rotatable horn provides 50-degree by 80-degree coverage. The 10-inch woofer is mounted in a vented enclosure tuned for optimized low frequency response. An internal passive filter network provides all acoustical crossover and equalization. Inputs and outputs are Neutrik Type NL4, wired in parallel.… View this story

PSW Staff 07/01/09 10:20 AM, 0 CommentsKRK Systems is now shipping the R6 passive studio monitor, which incorporates design cues from KRK’s popular Rokit line, including radically radiused edges along the front of the cabinet. The R6, like its Rokit brethren, provides a sleeker, more modern look, including a molded front baffle also engineered to minimize diffraction of high-frequencies, resulting in a sweet spot that is significantly larger than products with square or lightly rounded baffles. The baffle also houses a molded front-facing bass port that… View this story
