Subwoofer Crossover Advice / Opinions

Cambo82 · 11th March 2006, 02:53 PM

Hi guys,

Looking around for a decent (and reasonably priced) Subwoofer active crossover unit. I was previously using a basic car audio one (it died) which did the job, but want something with a bit more control.

I came across this from Behringer, I don't know much about the quality however the price is certainly appealing. The low pass filter from 15hz > 220hz is nice too.

http://www.behringer.com/CX2310/index.cfm?lang=ENG

I have main speakers that are comfortable running down to 30hz so finding a crossover that gives me a low enough frequency rolloff point seems difficult, unless custom building my own.

Opinions / other suggestions to look at?

Cheers
Cam

You could surely find something you could build for yourself at

AU based, I believe. Many mentions of his projects on diyaudio.com

Check out Marchand's range. Very nice quality & very flexible.

Thanks guys!

I ended up ordering the Behringer CX-2310 in the end, a cheap and readily available option.

I decided that I will save for the Velodyne SMS-1 ( http://www.hometheaterhifi.com/volum...05-part-1.html )because I think that is the ideal solution for me... but for the meantime the behringer should hopefully do the job!

Cheers.
