Dahlquist DQ-1LP crossover owners


Hello,

I am interested in a Dahlquist crossover that is for sale. The owner is not very familiar with it. Does anyone know if if it gives the 6dB/octave bass response boost that dipole subs need.

Bass from dipoles naturally rolls off. So a dipole bass driver has to be EQed up (6 dB/ octave) as frequency goes down.

Please advise.

Best regards,

Got it now.  Kinda like a Bose 901 EQ does(at both ends of the spectrum), but- not at as high an order.   Then again: I've seen Tympani Bass panels, used with different mains(ie: QRS) and a DQ-LP1, with great results.   WHEW(that's been a few decades)!   
I used a modded DQ-LP1 for better than two decades and wish I hadn’t sold it. I’m not certain if a 5dB boost at 20Hz is enough for what you need, but the DQ-LP1 does offer that, via it’s EQ setting. Mentioned under, "controls and adjustments" on page 3 of the manual. If you need the entire Bass level increased, you could adjust in favor of the bottom, via the Level settings, which offer 15dB of gain.  Manual here: (https://sites.google.com/site/mpbarney/home/dahlquist-dq-lp1)
