Reviving an old thread, but I was interested in trying a hi pass filter for my mains, and looked into HSU's very inexpensive option, but doesn't work with balanced units. My velodyne subs can do a balanced hi pass filter, but the lowest it goes is 80hz and I was looking for something that goes a bit lower. Any other lower cost balanced analog high pass filters other than the CR1?
High quality high pass filtering for speakers?
Is there a good option for high-passing the speaker connection in a high-end system?
I want this for a few reasons.
1. NO loudspeakers will come close to a really good standalone sub. Even $20k + speakers end up with really bad distortion at 50hz.
2. My sub has 3 parametric EQs, which helps tremendously in dealing with a 12db spike I have around 60hz. It's no help at all if the speakers are playing that frequency.
3. Even with 2-way speakers, there is still a lot of overlap between sub and speakers without a high pass. Not ideal.
