6 Crossover Networks

Crossover networks separate or join together several specific frequency bands. They are typically used in speaker systems to separate the low-, mid-, and high-range frequencies to respective drive woofers, midrange, or tweeter drivers. These filters protect the drivers from wasteful, noise inducing, or harmful frequencies that the driver is not designed to handle. For example, there is no need to send high frequency to a woofer. The woofer is not able to reproduce high frequencies and just adds distortion. A tweeter can be damaged by strong low frequencies, thus it is best to filter these before sending the signal to these drivers. Linkwitz Riley implementations are tailored to produce an overall gain of 0 dB at the crossover frequency when their low-pass and high-pass filters combine together so the overall musical tone is not changed during reproduction.
