Hi all,
I've been using Thuneau's Frequency allocator crossover software for many years now. It's IIR based and I have been using it to try out crossover tunings before spending the time and money to build a passive version. It takes frd files for raw driver input so it's quick and easy to see what the acoustic response and phasing look as you change the filters. I haven't had luck getting it to work in Win10 or 11 so I've been stuck using an old PC and audio interface. Does anyone use this on a newer setup? Or, is there a modern alternative that offser similar functionality? I do have a miniDSP but the miniDSP software doesn't take raw driver data as input (or at least I haven't figured out how to use it) so it would seem to be a bit more iterative process to tune filters, measure, retune, etc.
thanks,
Dan

Allen, thanks for the Vituixcad recommendation. I wasn't aware of that one. Even if it doesn't end up working better that Frequency Allocator, it looks like it would be a good alternative to SoundEasy which I still use for passive crossovers.
Dan
I agree. Frequency Allocator works very well to quickly dial in crossovers and see the resulting acoustic response without needing to remeasure.

I just downloaded the demo version via archive.org, started allocator.exe in Windows 8 compatibility mode and it just works on my Windows 10 (version 10.0.19045.3930) computer.
You could also give it a try ...

Dan, would you be willing to sell your license of frequency allocator? Thuneau's website is no longer operational to purchase the program and I misplaced my license key. Please send me a PM. Thanks
In the age of Apple M4, why is there no dedicated crossover and LMS software? Why do we use DBX Driverack designs that are over a decade old?
