Can someone please elaborate on Scott Sehlin’s Mercury crossover schematic how it is just one massive network while others have two separate networks for woofer and tweeter? I’m not understanding how they can be tied together as they show.
Thanks for clarification!
It is a Series Crossover
From his Web page….
“I tried several versions of a standard parallel crossover and came up with one that did what I wanted, but it took 11 components. For a budget 2-way, I was hoping for something simpler. About 5 years ago I had good luck with a second order series crossover on another project using a 5" woofer and a Vifa XT tweeter, so I thought I would try a similar approach here. The outcome is a second order series crossover plus a big 12.5 ohm padding resistor and a zobel on the tweeter - and a bottomless LC notch filter on the woofer to suppress the breakup. The component count went from 11 to 9, which is a little more than I would prefer, but I couldn’t really find anything else to take out.”
Interesting…… my ignorance for crossover design is pretty deep, this just took me to an entirely other level.
I get the basic principal, but no understanding of why this does what it does. I shall have to dig deeper…..
Have fun- that rabbit hole requires taking both pills.
