I'm happy to announce that the Active Crossover Designer has reached version 2.0. This new release has some under-the-hood upgrades, the tutorial has been redone to better illustrate how to tweak the filter tables, and there is a new extension that makes FRD file importing and exporting a breeze.
With release 2, the tools now work in Open Office Calc (version 3.3 or later).
For those who are not familiar with ACD, here is a summary:

With release 2, the tools now work in Open Office Calc (version 3.3 or later).
For those who are not familiar with ACD, here is a summary:
- ACD is a measurement based, active crossover design program
- Crossovers are described as sets of filter blocks.
- Any filter type up to second order biquadratic can be used, including the Linkwitz Transform and first and second order shelving filters
- A frequency shaping filter or crossover can be designed for up to a 4-way loudspeaker
- The software can be expanded to model line arrays with custom programming (please contact author for more info)
- All filter parameters can be exported to the MiniDSP crossovers (with advanced biquad capability) so that the crossover can be implemented immediately

The new interface for the driver response spreadsheet:
The tutorial shows how to turn these raw driver responses (shown below) into a nice flat frequency response (see two below):
After the tutorial we have this response:
Let the fun begin!
