A simple solution is to get a set of filters built into RCA plugs
That’s what these are that I posted.

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!

perkri OP 👍✔ at minimal $ costing, and robing any of character at present he's getting now from the Spendor BC1’s Cheers George |
perkri OPAt 300ohms output impedance the Quad 33 should be good to go perkri OPPlenty of these around on ebay. https://www.ebay.com/itm/AUDIOPHILE-4-PIN-DIN-PLUG-TO-2x-RCA-PHONO-PLUGS-CABLE-QUAD-33-44-303-405-1M/120570590087?epid=2229645602&hash=item1c12913387:g:gE4AAOxyyF5RQNWY Cheers George |
And as far as "His preamp does not have a subwoofer out." just use one or two of these better to have two subs. https://www.ebay.com/itm/AudioQuest-RCA-Male-to-Two-RCA-Female-Adapter/133357704249?hash=item1f0cbd1439:g:3CoAAOSwAbxeaHtT Cheers George |
Don't know it'll be on their site somewhere, just ask. http://www.hlabs.com/products/crossovers/ Cheers George |
perkri He’s got Spendor BC1’s for a reason, for their organic sound when used just simply with source and amp. Don’t go sterilizing the sound by putting mini dsp and or digital xovers in the signal path, as they have lousy d/a converters in them and if your friend has a good dac that sound will be lost along with the Spendors sound. Get a pair of these passive HP filters (pick your frequency) on the input of the Spendors amps and use an active subs xovers/plate amp to blend it in to whatever you pick to roll off the Spendors at. Or if the sub doesn’t have an active xover then the use the LP filters on the sub/s amps as well from the same place. http://vi.vipr.ebaydesc.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemDescV4&item=272942669723&t=1540585209000&category=14970&seller=speakeraddict&excSoj=1&excTrk=1&lsite=0&ittenable=false&domain=ebay.com.au&descgauge=1&cspheader=1&oneClk=2&secureDesc=0 100hz HP ones https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/2-Harrison-Labs-FMOD-100Hz-HP-High-Pass-Satellite-Electronic-Crossover-USA-Made-/272942669723 Cheers George |
