Setting up crossovers in pure music1/1/2024 Simple speaker with Passive High Pass Filter in series with tweeter: Any filter 2nd order or higher will require a connection to negative from the filter, which will be explained in more detail in another article: A 1st order filter does not require a connection to negative (-) and can be simply put in series as per the diagram. The high pass filter would remove damaging bass frequencies and keep the tweeter operating safely.įor purposes of simplicity, all diagrams will be simplified, and a 1st order filter is assumed to be in use. In a very simple speaker, you could just use a high pass filter in series with a tweeter, in parallel with the woofer. Tweeter must have high frequencies only, limited to the frequencies the tweeter is designed to handle. Tweeters can not handle bass frequencies, lots of bass into a tweeter would destroy it. Why can’t we just put a Woofer and Tweeter in parallel without a crossover? In the case of a basic two-way system there would be two bands, one band covered by the woofer, and one by the tweeter. In many basic speakers its common to have a woofer and a tweeter in order to cover as wide a range of the audio spectrum as is possible.Ī crossover is a device which splits sound/music into two or more frequency bands. Drivers handling higher frequencies are usually much smaller, and are often known as tweeters. Typically those handling lower frequencies are cone drivers, and commonly known as woofers. With current technology, it’s impossible to have a single transducer that is able to reproduce the entire audio spectrum effectively, different types of loudspeaker driver are better suited to different speakers.
