Different ways to compensate bafle step

[Bricolo]

Hi all,

I'm looking for other ways to apply BSC to a speaker (other ways that the LR network)

Since I told about LR networks, why are they so rare in XOs? How is BSC applyed in most of the XOs?

One of the other solutions would be to add a woofer, but how to filter it (which filter slope?)

Add a woofer on the back, filter out anywhere above the baffle step frequency.

Or you could make a circuit like Rod has at sound.au.com...

Assuming you're using passive crossovers at speaker level, if you jiggle around the topology and values of the woofer/mid feed, you can usually approximate it pretty well. I'll often put an RC series combo in shunt with the woofer when I'm modeling, following the xover, and let my optimizer program do the heavy lifting.

Or you can easily do it at line level (e.g., between pre and power amp) using some inexpensive Rs and Cs.
