hum4god · 8th February 2008, 04:20 PM

hi
i just saw that there is a new xover planned .
could you give more details about it ?
i copy pasted what is alreday on the firstwatt page below:

Future Product - Active Crossover / Equalizer

As many of you know, I spend quite a bit of time with “full-range” loudspeakers, and I have been working for the past year on an active crossover/equalizer for use with a full-range driver and a woofer. This project is now complete, and will go into production in about a month, with availability in June or so. If you (or your wife) have been looking for an alternative to back-loaded horns, then this will interest you.

For those of you who like to “bi-amp” two amplifiers into passive crossovers
I will soon have another product of interest – a buffered splitter with level adjust and ultra/infra sonic filtering.

I have two crossovers being readied under First Watt -

A crossover/eq specifically designed around full range drivers and
woofers in open baffles.

(and) a regular crossover.

The pc boards for both are out at fab, and the faceplates are
at the screeners, along with a passive biamp and two preamps.

Let's see... That's five new line-level products.

I wonder if the chassis will have any similarity...

Anyway, expect the regular crossover last.

Do you need me to help test the boards?

Is the F6 monobloc still coming?

"Future Product – Higher Power JFET Monobloc

The success of the F3 has been accompanied by requests for a similar amplifier with more power. This is projected to arrive this summer in the form of the F6, which is a two stage direct coupled circuit delivering approximately 40 watts into 8 ohms."

The F6 is a monobloc, but only uses Jfets on the input. A mono
power Jfet amp is still under design.
