In my quest to stay away from DSP and keep it all analog, I was thinking whether it would be possible to do a large array (25 pcs) of TC9FD18-08 and EQ it with a passive network instead of DSP?
I really want to avoid a A-D / D-A conversion in the signal path and keep it all analog (lots of vinyl listening). Active analog filtering is an option as well, but only with a higher end diy EQ, not the cheap noisy graphic EQs you find in the pro audio world. Of course I'd use a pair of dedicated subs to augment the low end.
What kind of EQ curves are you guys with TC9 arrays running?

Thats what I was thinking and it should be possible to do if I model the EQ curve first with the help of my Klark DN410 parametric, just to get an idea of a real world scenario to adapt the listening environment.
I assume you have read this thread already?

Looking at polar plots of the TC9 arrayed, it starts to comb at about 4k. I'm planning on a 2 way array with 15 pcs of SB26STCN soft domes crossed around 3k.

Some work was done to create an analog-active EQ that resembles what Roger Russell (RIP) did with his IDS-25.
