- Crossover Design -
The crossover point occurs at 2 kHz. As I mentioned earlier,
this is possible thanks to the Usher 9930's very low resonance.
The tweeter is also slightly padded to smoothly match it to the
woofer's output. The minimum system impedance of 4.6 ohms
occurs at 7.7 kHz with the worst phase angle of -58° occurring
at 1.73 kHz, making this an easy load for any good amplifier.
On both the high pass and low pass circuits, new 1% precision
Dayton capacitors were used in parallel to get the critical values
necessary to optimize the crossover. Also, to help facilitate easy
placement inside the cabinet, both the high pass and low pass
circuits were constructed using separate boards. This also makes
it easier when using the bi-amp terminal plate.
