Active crossover advice for 1000hz biamp


Hi,

Im looking for an 2 way active crossover to divide the signal around 1000-1200hz so I can biamp with two tube amps. Lows will go to a 15 inch woofer and highs to a compression driver in a horn.
I was considering Rane, Bryston, Marchand, any advice will be welcome.

Thanks
Alan

Alan, in order to do this correctly, you need to match amplitude levels, bring acoustic centres pretty close and, of course, choose the optimum xover frequency and, not least, the best acoustic xover slope... a few other things perhaps, but the above are really necessary.

So, can you find / buy an inexpensive tool ($¬200) in the form of a Behringer deq or their dsp? OK, it's audiophile non-approved BUT you can use it to determine all the optimal parametres of yr system. Once you know that, go ahead & buy the best xover. At least you'll know what to do with it!
