krk 15A3 crossovers?

tientsdo · 19th May 2011, 06:09 PM

I have 5 KRK 15A3 far-field studio monitors,come with 1" Focal inverted dome tweeter,7" focal midrange and 15" Focal woofers,3 of them have built in crossovers,the other 2 do not have crossover,I have no info or specs on them,I love the way the ones with built in crossovers sound,what's the best way to duplicate those crossovers without a schematic?Do I have any other option?Anybody have any idea which crossover works best with these speakers?

Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated!!!

I did some research and find out that the best way is maybe to go with 3 ways active crossover.
Any idea about that route?
cheer!

Why not just pull the crossover board out of one of them and duplicate it?

I thought about that and looked at the crossover,its does look too complicated for my skills,
thank for the suggestion anyway.

Active will not be as accurate (not as true to the original). Copying the other crossovers is probably the easiest way by far to give you the same result as the others.

Thank for your advice Allen,I just order a Pyle 3 ways active crossover,and will triamp the xover output,it's really inexpensive $76 shipped from Amazon,will see what happens,if I don't like it I allways can try to copy the existing xover.

cheer!!!

Have you tried contacting KRK to see if they'll sell you the crossovers as spare parts?
