Crossover networks designed for the Belle Klipsch or Klipsch LaScala woofers having extremely sharp slopes which reach 20 dB or greater attenuation very close to the crossover frequency are available at frequencies of 500, 600 or 700Hz. A network at 400 Hz (ES400) has been developed in two sections (half on either side of the squawker horn) for use specifically in the Klipchorn. These designs virtually eliminate interaction between drivers which cause response peaks and dips throughout the listening area.
- A removable strap allows 2-way or 3-way operation by the use of a second external crossover such as the ES5800.
- Two additional removable straps allow bi-wiring.
- Provides a constant 6 Ohm resistive load to your amplifier (easily driven from the 4 or 8 Ohms connections) over the entire audio spectrum withOUT the usual "Zobel" compensator. The woofer voice coil inductance (about 1 mHy) is actually absorbed by the network filter.
- Adjustable level settings for the squawker in a 3-way system or the upper frequency driver in a 2-way system is provided.
- Easily replaceable fast-blow 1.5 Amp fuse in a socket protects the woofer.
- Usable with 8 or 16 Ohm squawker drivers.
Removable straps are provided to use the autotransformer in a 2-way system or from an external tweeter / squawker crossover in a 3-way system (ES5800 or AP15-6000).
In the Belle Klipsch or LaScala:
- The ES500 is suggested for use with the stock Klipsch squawker horns or the Edgar type tractrix (fastrac LaScala).
- The ES600 is good for stretching 800 Hz drivers run 2-way lower in frequency safely.
- The ES700 is best used with the Altec 811b horn.

The extreme-slope network for the Klipschorn is a combination of the ES400 and the ES5800 networks packaged to fit on either side of the squawker horn inside the upper compartment of the Klipschorn.
This specific combination is designated the ES-Khorn.
- Provides a constant 6 Ohm resistive load to your amplifier (easily driven from the 4 or 8 Ohms connections) over the entire audio spectrum withOUT the usual "Zobel" compensator. The woofer voiced coil inductance is actually absorbed by the network filter.
- Adjustable level settings for the squawker.
- Provisions included for conversion to 2-way operation if desired.
- Removable bridging cable connecting the low and high section of the woofer crossover allows bi-wiring to a single amp.
- Easily replaceable fast-blow 1.5 Amp fuse in a socket protects the woofer.
- Usable with 8 or 16 Ohm squawker drivers.
Here's how the woofer / squawker extreme-slope networks are connected for either 2-way and 3-way operation simply by removing a single strap:
