Pass Labs B4 crossover questions

[savvas]

It would be great if it's design in a real dual mono way so that it could be placed near or even inside monoblock amps. Fewer / shorter interconnect cables.
I think that in current form it is not monoblock friendly. I don't think it's so much hussle.
Just my 2 cents

 

[Nelson Pass]

The mono version that we anticipate is balanced....

Things are moving along, the final version of the LXmini crossover is
done, and the board for that will also do other 12 dB/oct crossovers
with eq on the bottom and top, like a fixed frequency version of the B5.

The board artwork has been made modular, so we can offer lots of
different versions, including 3 way and variable frequencies.

Thanks Mr Pass for all excellent news
Kind regards

Well, you can't always get what you want, ... exactly
I hope it will be available as pcb kit with parts, along with the full chassis version.
Waiting patiently for the coconut to fall

Nice project to look forward to, I'll start to collect the lxmini components, I wonder which amp's Nelson suggests, as I read about a quite powerfull woofer amp...

 

[Nelson Pass]

I hope it will be available as pcb kit with parts, along with the full chassis version.

Store chassis Galaxy 2u 230x230 is the default crossover chassis, and
will be available with holes for 8 rca connectors + ps on the back panel.

This chassis will likely also serve for 3 input preamps.

A yet-to-be announced preamp ? Aleph P?

It's just that sending the chassis alone overseas (in my case Greece) is too costly.

Edit: just read the chassis information delivery in Diyaudio eshop. They are actually send from Italyl. That's good news. In this case strike out my remarks

 

[Nelson Pass]

I believe the chassis will be drop shipped from Italy to all over.

>redundant comment.....

I believe the chassis will be drop shipped from Italy to all over.

I hope case is optional, as I can get it locally.

 

[Nelson Pass]

It is.

So is it time to sell our Stock B4 for the Kit one or did it still keep a secret sounding advance

 

[Nelson Pass]

The B4 does uses the Toshiba Jfets, is direct coupled, and has a wider
range of adjustment.

In anticipation of the soon to come family of crossovers, is there anyone here that has a design for a linear power supply to use with the crossover?

 

[noviygera]

I think phase invert switch would be very helpful

Let's stop asking for features for a moment. Adding new features will just delay it's appearance in the diyAudio store even more. What's the planned landing time of the B4 kit?

 

[noviygera]

agreed!

 

[HVfanatic]

Important is only dipole correction and notch filter for the dipole. I'm looking forward...

+1

 

[mbrennwa]

What is the size of the boards?
What are the PSU requirement(s)?
What else do I need to know in terms of chassis space / arrangement?

I am thinking of a stereo kit with a low-pass and a high-pass.

I am trying to figure out if I can fit this in to the chassis of the TVC I am building at the moment. The chassis I found in the basement is a bit too large, and I might stuff the filter in there instead of using a separate chassis.
