Nahh, because you can trace backwards from the LF output jacks.

On double sided high density SMT pcbs ?

Get real Scott ! You should know very well that's not a practical task. 30 years ago or
so it was different for sure. You can't do that these days unless you have hours to
spare tracing it all out.

So buy a Rane AC-22. Two-sided board, through hole DIP construction with
standard op-amps, and the schematic is on the website.

Only problem with it is that the 1/4" phone jacks are prone to fail and
it uses a wall wart.

Aaaargghhh. A wall wart ! That's so unprofessional..


I was originally a little alarmed at the pots used
for turnover frequency adjustment, but they actually track very well and
hold up well to abuse.

It ain't no Sumo or even an Orban but it's not bad at all. For some reason,
Rane stuff is distributed by Sennheiser in the UK.

There is really no reason to have high-density SMD stuff in something like
a simple third or fourth order crossover. There's plenty of space in there.
But honestly, even the SMD stuff isn't that hard. The ohmmeter makes it
possible to trace lines without even being able to see them.

But is still very time consuming.
