What is the crossover point of (insert EAW loudspeaker model here)?
> The answer to this question is usually not what the questioner is looking for. The crossover point can be defined as the frequency at which the responses of two filters, an HPF and an LPF, cross one another. More practically, it is the point where one transducer takes over from another going up or down in frequency. This point is really the center of a frequency range over which both transducers contribute to the sound. This is called the overlap area. To understand just “where” this frequency is, it is useful to know that any transducer is, in fact, a bandpass filter. Every transducer has inherent high and low pass filters. They are mechanical rather than electronic, but their effects on the signal are the same. Each filter has a cutoff frequency, topology and slope. When a crossover filter is used with a transducer, both filters combine to make a new frequency response curve. When you measure the individual transducers with their crossover filters and overlay the response curves, o
