Crossover Sources?
I'm interested where I might be able to buy a good 2 way electronic
crossover having fixed points and slopes following the specifications of my loudspeaker manufacturer, ordinary RCA inputs and outputs are all that I need. The speaker manufacturer said they use the Bryston, but knows people do use others. I would not like to spend an amount of money equal to nearly half the cost of the loudspeakers, and considerably less. The Bryston 10B Standard lists for $2000. |

Try www.marchand.com and search also the PA and studio websites. Kal |

If you can find your way to fabricating interconnects with XLR connectors at one end and RCA at the other, or have them made, I think you'd be surprised to find just how good a Behringer crossover can be. A 2-way Behringer CX2310 is all of $89 at Musiciansfriend.com. How can it be so cheap? Chinese labor... Seriously. All this stuff made in China is incredibly low priced. I ran one for a while in my home system and it worked just fine. Phase corrected crossover is Linkwitz-Riley 24db/octave. You can vary the crossover point and gain levels in each stage. It also has a summed mono sub-woofer output. That's a lot of electronics for $89. And if you don't like it, you can EBay the thing and you're out not more than $30 maybe. Another good source, probably more to what you're looking for, is Marchand Electronics. He makes excellent crossovers, with fixed points/slopes with Linkwitz-Riley 24db/octave. He also has one that is 48 db/octave. And there's a much more pricey tube based crossover he does if you are up for the price of about $1500. http://www.marchandelec.com/ Russ |

Rubinson and Button. I completed an order at Marchand Electronics for a x-over. It wasn't exactly inexpensive, but still about the cost 1/3 of a Bryston. The people at Marchand appear to be very cordial and pleasant to deal with. |
