crossover auralization

jlo · 4th September 2007, 09:13 PM

a strange software to listen to crossover problems : it's called XOralizer.
You can simulate and listen to speakers with two to five ways (including WMTMW,...) and various types of crossovers from first to 4th orders. And then move the listener while listening.
have a look here

After first trials : the first order crossover (6dB/oct) is much worse than all others. But check it for yourself, it's less complicated than it seems

I can't find any other references to this software, How did you find it?

I have used foobar 2000 with an addon to use pc based crossovers.

It is totally useless IMO.
There is no ideal crossover and there are no ideal drivers. It is the combination of those two that counts and yes, it can't be ideal either - optimal maybe.

XOralizer is not a soft to setup a real system : it is a tool to understand how different types of crossovers sound when the speakers are not coincident.
Maybe there is not ideal crossover but some are much worse than others. This tool can help to understand why.
