Convair 1581 Crossover 2.2kHz Butterworth

Convair 1581 Crossover 2.2kHz Butterworth

This exclusive range of high quality bespoke passive crossovers has been designed, specified and manufactured in the UK using premium quality audio components, exactingly hand-built to withstand the demands of life on the road. Designed and tested for use between the Sonitus MR8XT and MR8XTN 8" horn drivers and a 1" compression driver mounted on Beyma´s TD164 horn flare. These crossovers have not only been engineered specifically to bring out the best aspects of the respective drivers, but have been trialled through extensive analysis tests, with extensive listening auditions to guarantee the irreplaceable human touch. All of these crossovers have their own dedicated CD horn EQ module to smooth out response in the upper register.

2.2kHz Butterworth 12dB per octave crossover. Designed for use between the MR8XT 8" horn and a Compression driver. This crossover has been optimised for use with the B&C DE250 in live/vocal applications to give good vocal presence, very similar to the 2.5kHz crossover but the lower crossover frequency gives a little more ´bite´ from the compression driver, giving a little more presence for percussive sounds such as snare drums to cut through. Intended for live band applications.

This crossover features approximately 3dB attenuation for the compression driver, which brings most compression drivers down to a similar SPL as the 8" horn in the 1581 cabinet. A bypass capacitor on the resistor applies a slight lift around 9kHz to give a CD Horn EQ.
