Vandersteen 5A's Internal crossovers/batteries

Alan
Why not do it right send to Vandersteen.
for 60 bucks or so its worth having a perfect Job done and if anything is wrong fixed in house.
When part time armchair soldering folks get into things and burn up the sides of expensive parts it like letting a 3rd grader make the soup, Tasted good until he asks how much Ajax should go in next time.

Yes you're right. Thanks for advice.

Hey guys, just a curious question, why are there batteries in the crossover?

Do the crossovers have some sort of a software program in them that requires a battery to maintain memory?

I do agree that you send them into Vandersteen for replacement.

The batteries are used in the same way AQ uses them in their DBS system.

There are three 9 volt batteries in the main inside crossover board of 5s,5A,5A carbons and Sevens that put 27 volts on the capacitors
that are in the signal path this allows the music to sound more transparent and clear.
When you haven't listened to your system in 2 weeks
and turn it on it sounds as good as you were playing yesterday without the half a day plus run in.
As Zd542 pointed out this is part of the same concept as Vandersteens/WEL DBS Syetem patent.
Best, JohnnyR
