Basic Information About Crossovers

An introduction to crossovers. I mention crossovers to new DJs and find out that they don't know much about them. This video is basic information, does not apply to those who use "active" or powe...

Plus... doesn't actually MATTER what impedance speakers one WANTS to use - so long as the "effective" SEEN IMPADANCE - that is applied to your amp - matches it's output rating... thus an amp - designed for 8ohms... can have two 4ohms in SERIES - four 8ohms - parrallel series in a quad format = 8ohms (far better sound) - OR - use two 16 ohm speakers IN PARRALLEL .. or any combination thereof - to gain 8ohm - at the AMPS TERMINALS.

Oh & Yes... PA 9public address - used for large outdoor venues & is MAINLY spoken voice and thus often uses LOW QUALITY high output speakers for LONG DISTANCE rather than quality of sound? & SR (sound re-inforcement) used for 'filling" voids created by spacial echo problems & SFF Sound FullFillment - is simply THE BEST of the best - to get it ALL out... Multi ch surround... (& in analogue - it's the only way to go).

GOOD INTRO?
Average video ...
& absolutely NONE of the Basic Information About Crossovers (ur title suggests)
Except for the fact - U FORGOT TO MENTION - this is without actually telling anyone- that u were using an ACTIVE X-over system - being the "initial frequency X_OVER was in the "inputs" to your device & then was internally PRE_AMPED - to boost individual BASE response, MID & or treble levels - out to three outputs for you individual amps?

Always GO UP in speaker impeadance - if uncertain - never down (as U will cook Ur amp if it's delivering a lower impedance = HIGHER OUTPUT AMPS ... current flow...? just a 2ohm difference - could equate to SEVERAL AMPS- enough to permantly damage ur AMP...whereas an 8ohm load will ONLY reduce amp flow & overall volume - & NO HARM to EITHER the speaker- or the amp.

OVERLAP the x-over cutoffs slightly- to allow the roll-off from one amp - to flow OVER and fil the void created - where the other is "already" rolling off (otherwise one will AUDIBLY hear - a gap in the "CUT" frequencies)

?Daisy chain - ooh what a thinly vieled hidden catch u provide here... as SERIES daisy channing is OK- but lowers the effective volume- whereas PARRALLEL daisy chaining - if at first APPEARS LOUD - will in fact decompose Ur amp into mindless realms of smoldering junk - very very quickly

What crossover are you using in the video?

Paraiks,i know what you have to do,in the back of your crossover you should have a mid and high output,use a splitter to plug into both outputs and run one cable to your speaker.then on the front of your unit you controll the mids with the low knob and the highs with your high knob.

i own the behringer cx3400 and i have a question. i run this crossover in 2 way stereo. i have one 18" sub on each side. on top of the subs i have a dual 15" and horn for each side. my quesiton is...if i have an amp for the tops and one for the bottoms...why am i getting mids from my top 15" woofer and from the bottom woofer all i get is lows like the subs. is there a way for me to get mids out of both 15" woofers? am i hooking it up wrong?

A huge amount depends upon whether one uses (in passive systems) a 6db rolloff per octave x-over or a 12db per octave - AND whether or not- YOU also allow "partial' extensions into both frequencies - if two - or overlaps into & across all other cut-off frequencies... (IF U DO NOT allow overlaps - U will have serious LOST AREAS at x-over freq.
