Crossover Capacitors |
 |
|
When replacing a capacitor in an existing printed circuit crossover board, order the same capacitance value (in uF - microfarads) as the original. Our Audiophiler capacitors are rated at a maximum of 400 volts, which offers significant margin over typical voltages found in audio speaker circuits. |

If you wish to create a basic first order crossover for a horn or tweeter using a single capacitor, use the following table to determine your crossover frequency, based on the impedance of the horn/tweeter, and the capacitance of the crossover capacitor. (Crossover frequencies have been rounded off). |
