simple and quick question

[rinx]

Should I need to use BSC compensator in filter, when putting drivers on side of the enclosure and crossing them very low, lets say approx. 250Hz.

Woofers are omnidirectonal to apporox. 165 Hz.

I didnt found any sofware that has opportunity to make this simulation.

I think No.

I'm assuming this is a 3-way design, in which case BSC is essentially moot - it's used in 2-way designs where the woofer handles both bass and midrange - it is a method to balance the two frequency ranges.

Therefore it's also moot whether the woofer is side or front mounted.

Hi, not for the midrange driver(s), /sreten.

At a 250 Hz XO point I personally wouldn't worry about it, but it never hurts to measure/model. At a lower XO point to a sub, from a true midwoofer it would be more significant.

In any event "not for the midrange drivers" is rather vague in terms of useful advice to the poster's question. Specifics would help.

Hi,

A low bass/ mid c/o point means that the mid high pass should include BSC.

OK. So how low is low, and what frequency range would this cover?
