`electronic crossover home system
With two amplifiers (solid state) I feed one with the right channel and
the other the left..this out of a mixer. All in/outs are RCA. Can I fit a device into this home system to let me control the amount of power going to the mids and highs and lows? The few units I have seen have "xlr" plugs. Can these connectors be adapted to RCA? |

Greg Yes, but the ones that sound ok still cost a lot, with only one low-cost digital choice on the market anyway, the Behringer. I've used this unit in a PA setup and re-sold in a week, made everything sound like compressed MP3's and introduced a lot of DSP hiss, also had a scratching sound with one channel. And I was using the aes/ebu input to avoid another A/D conversion. To date the analog filters using the best op amps still sound the sweetest and quietest. I was assuming the OP did not want to get into a real costly speaker management unit with built in time alinment, and all the latest DSP, etc. |

one more thing.. the speakers: two 2-ways with 10" woofers two 2-ways with 8" woofers one sub woofer one 15" all way, big box and big speaker to handle all ranges. One amp handles the 8" pair on "a" right and "b'" right. another amp handles one of the 10" on "a" left and the sub woofer on "b" left. One amp is for the right channel and the other is for the left. Placement in a rectangular space and mono recordings make a "depth" of sound. Phonos and line items patched to those rca pods in my mixer. Would I place the electronic xo between the mixer and the two amps. Thinking the electronic xo could be tailored to feed only the high end range to one amp and the low end to the other amp. |
