There are lots of new stuff to read, and I'm as excited as the cowboy with the 10-gallon hat!

I realize that someone will mistake the Blazing Saddles clip for what I
posted.

For what I posted, go to FIRST WATT

OMG! This excites me the most:
from the SIT Nemesis article, "I have reason to believe that we will see some new SIT parts from a couple of sources in the coming year – parts that you should be able to actually buy.

You should probably start saving for them now..."

Giddy with joy!

 

[soundnovice]

please tell me where can i purchase the kit/PCBs for B4 or B5 xover?

 

[Nelson Pass]

I will not be offering a kit, as there simply would be too much support
required. As it is, customers of B5 and B4 already require a lot of
hand holding.

Very possible. Just requires a bit more study.

Thanks Nelson. Just about to start one of these based on Rollins article and this help connect a few dots.

Yeah. I am thinking of modding my B5 and I don't even have it yet.

Any reason i can't run the output of the filter directly into F5 FE vs through another buffer. I am starting on an F5T integrated for the bedroom and plan to have the XO double as pre. Did you get the switches from Digikey?

 

[Zen Mod]

it depends how you look at it

if properly made , filter is already buffered

 

[Melon Head]

As Zen mod said, the crossover should allready be buffered, There is no need for another buffer

 

[buzzforb]

I was talking about dropping the last buffer in the XO and using the F5 input instead.

 

[Melon Head]

will the crossover be in the amp case?

3 way crossover

Hi,

I am looking for an electronic crossover to do the following:

low pass and high pass on midrange (330Hz and 2Khz)
high pass on tweeter (2Khz)

6db/oct slopes

I will need TWO B4s, correct? Will the sound quality degrade going through two B4's?

Thanks,
Herman
