An audio cross-over network is used inside a speaker to separate or filter audio signals of different frequencies to different speakers within a speaker cabinet designed to handle those frequencies. This particular crossover network uses two passive components for each filter. The low-pass filter is comprised of inductor L1 and capacitor C1, and i

s designed to pass low frequencies to a bass speaker or woofer. The series inductor [L1] tends to block high frequencies [XL increases], while passing low frequencies. At the same time the impedance of the parallel capacitor C1 is higher at lower frequencies. So at low frequencies the capacitor passes all the energy to the speaker, but as the frequency grows more energy is lost over the inductor, passing less energy to the speaker. The high-pass filter is comprised of inductor L2 and capacitor C2, and is designed to pass high frequencies to a tweeter. The series capacitor C2 blocks or attenuates low frequencies from reaching the speaker, while the inductor L2 passes high frequencies to the speaker. Reducing the circuit could just leave the capacitor in circuit with the speaker forming a voltage divider. Common values to use include 1mH for the inductors and 16uF for the capacitors. However almost any common value around those ranges will do depending on how fast, or slow, you want the crossover to take place between the speakers and the types of speaker used. Remember much of how a speaker sounds depends on the room it`s placed in and of course the enclosure or cabinet that`s used. Among the speakers the editor uses include two 4-way, 6-speaker, KL-777A speakers from Kenwood covering the 25 - 22, 000Hz audio frequency range. The KL777A has a tone selector which changes the sound from soft, normal, or clear [as stated on the...
This project fits more for custom made battery casing that can have more space to hide things inside. This switch with few alterations can be used for any other project as well but is designed based on e-bike needs! This project use a clever functionality of....
The circuit described here uses ultrasonic oscillations and operates based on the propagation velocity of these oscillations in the air. Thus, we can easily determine the distance of two points if the time within which the wave travels this distance is....
Sometimes the precious metals are hidden too deep and are not detected except with complicated devices. In many cases, however, small pieces of precious metal buried near the surface can be detected by relatively simple means. Everyone is very attractive to....
Many times for various reasons we forget or can not water the plants that we have in our homes. And many humidity sensors units just notify us with a beeping sound or with a flashing light, that the pot needs watering. But what if we are away from home? This....
The principle behind a metal detector is really very simple. Proof of this is the circuit that follows, in which it proves that the construction of a metal detector can be done in the minute, with few components that we find very easily everywhere. With the....
The sub-harmonic bass generator is a sound producing unit for guitars. The sound it produces looks very much like that of the bass guitar. The octave generator is sometimes quite unusual since it does not produce any of the usual ways of coloring the sound,....
In the past the sounding (sea bottom measurement) was done with the "bullet", that is, with a heavy lead object that the seamen plucked into the sea hung from a calibrated rope. As soon as the "bullet" reached the bottom, the depth appeared directly from the....
This Amplifier was designed to have the following specifications: Distortion less than 0.1% at full power of 100W even at 20KHz. Power has to be attributed to an extended bandwidth. The output transistors must be protected against short circuits. The power....
A series of LEDs serve to alert the gardener when plants need water. Using two conventional digital integrated LEDs and a series of LEDs, we make a very useful device for gardening. The device detects the amount of water in the pot and alerts the grower.....
