Crossover Networks for LoudspeakersMost loudspeakers use multiple drivers and employ crossover networks to route the appropriate frequency ranges to the different drivers.

Two-Way CrossoverCombinations of capacitors, inductors, and resistors can direct high frequencies to the tweeter and low frequencies to the woofer. This amounts to filter action. A two-way crossover network divides the frequency range between two speakers.

Three-Way CrossoverCombinations of capacitors, inductors, and resistors can direct high frequencies to the tweeter and low frequencies to the woofer. This amounts to filter action. A three-way crossover network divides the frequency range between three speakers. A capacitor has lower impedance for high frequencies. In series with the high frequency speaker (tweeter), it acts to block low frequencies and let high frequencies through. The inductor has a lower impedance for low frequencies. In series with the low-frequency speaker (woofer), it acts to block high frequencies and let low frequencies through. |
