Klipsch loudspeaker corner
A paper describing crossover networks similar to those shown below having
slopes on the order of 120 dB / octave in a Belle Klipsch is downloadable
here. The article explains their benefits which are improved stereo imaging
and a widening of the "sweet-spot". The article also investigates such
factors as filter ringing, group delay, driver interaction and time alignment.

The designs for several of the ALK Engineering networks may also be downloaded below. Anyone wishing to build a set, for his own use, is welcome to do so. I will even be glad to help! I however reserve the exclusive rights to build these networks for sale. The download includes schematic, layout drawings, parts list and photographs.
