Vandersteen 5 HP Filter settings for RCA unit


I need to get the Vandersteen Model 5 High Pass Filter settings. I misplaced the tops to my filters and would like to know the correct settings. Thank you in advance. If anyone lives in New Jersey that could lend me their RCA HP filter for a day, I could measure the setting on your units versus mine to confirm, that would be great.

Happy Listening.

I did a search and the RCA pictures shows 100K at position 3?

can you please confirm again?

Thank you.
That is pretty bizarre. My RCA filters definitely show just what I posted above, and it seems to completely disagree with what the photo in your referenced ad shows.

I also have a set of XLR filters, and they read something entirely different from either of the two RCA examples.

I am not sure what you should do, other than measure the voltage output at the speaker to verify (the Vandersteen manual does a nice job of explaining that process). Then you will KNOW your are getting the correct roll-off.

Older HP filters with 8 dips read different....

You need Vandertones CD available download
off Vandersteen website.
Hook your Volt Meter set to AC Volts up to the speaker wires
at the amp or speaker with the High passes start at 50 k.
Play track 27 on repeat which is 1000hz and adjust your pre amps volume control to read as close to 1 Volt AC.
Next go to track 30 which is 100 hz and if the meter reads .707 or as close as you can get your set. If not start from beginning on trk 27 adjust dip switch settings repeat various listed settings until you get there.

What's wrong with asking RICHARD VANDERSTEEN?

Seems too logical.

Do not use the values that are on the chrome stickers.

There are values for the eight or ten dip switch units for model 2 and 3.
