SPL Meter to Match Gains in a Passive Bi Amped Crossover Network


Am passively biamping tube for the mids/tweets and SS for the woofers. I am asking if anyone who has passively Bi amped has a tried and true method for matching gain using a simple SPL meter?  Don’t really want to get into a discussion about passive vs active and why you might think I’m wasting my time. I know I’m not the only passive bi amper that’s happy “enough” with passive results. Thanks for your input and taking the time to read this.

I don't know what an SPL crossover is, but my default is always miniDSP crossovers.

Assuming you have a test signal generator, like pink noise, sure. Most accurate is to use a calibrated mid and phone instead of cheap SPL meters.

You’ll need to use it with an app like Audio Tools which will accept the calibration file.

Measure before passive biamping to get the right original signal.

Best,
