A simple solution is to get a set of filters built into RCA plugs and a RCA splitter on the pre-out. They are much used in car audio setups and work well. Search on eBay for rca plug crossover.
Active line level crossover with subwoofer out - HELP
Hi.
Helping my friend with another challenge.
Looking for a line level crossover. His preamp does not have a subwoofer out.
What he wants to do is have a high pass filter between the preamp and his power amp. This so his Spendor BC1’s are spared anything below 40 or 50hz. And, the crossover needs a low pass filter to spare the subwoofer the high frequencies.
Thoughts?
Thanks!

I've used a Marchand electronic crossover in my desktop system for several years. It really gets the job done nicely. I did some not-so-rigorous comparing of the sound w/ & w/o the crossover. I couldn't distinguish any sonic differences with it in vs out of the circuit. There are a number of models to choose from. Mine has a variable crossover (very handy). But I've heard the models that use a fixed crossover have that nth degree more purity of sound...? Who knows. Here's mine: https://www.marchandelec.com/xm66-electronic-crossover.html Prices from 2016 were $800 for my XM66 (new). If you can settle on a fixed frequency, the XM9 is $600. Both show up used occasionally (XM66 rarely; XM9 not quite as rarely). |
