Crossover resistors

murat · 5th January 2005, 08:55 PM

Hi,

Are there any particular resistors to avoid in passive crossovers? Wirewound cement resistors seem suitable to me but I am worried abut the inductance associated with them. Are their inductance significantly high?

Any other concerns about resistor selection?

Thanks,

Murat

HEEEELP!

I will order parts soon.

Why not play it safe and use metal oxide resistors? They're only a dollar each at madisound. Worth the piece of mind....

The other thing is that most wirewound resistors are available in non-inductive versions. No matter what you choose you would be best to check that they are non-inductive types.
