Mr. Widget,

Has anyone run across these yet?
Neat! Aluminum domes and cones on the midbass drivers and dual neo magnets...
Does anybody know off-hand the crossover frequency of the SAM12X from woofer module into SAM1HF?
The downloaded literature doesn't give that spec. I'd imagine it to be around 700-800Hz similar to Array but need specifics for my SAM1HF project.
Thanks much,
Warren
If you want the response of the HF or LF output of the SAM12X into a resistor (e.g., 8 ohms), I could properly setup to do that this weekend...
Very kind of you Sir Grumpy. As you may have seen, I have the SAMs and am using 2234s for bottom end. My active crossover is limited to a Rane analogue unit and I'm a little concerned about creating a hole in the response by setting it too low. If there's no hi-pass filter in the built-in Sam crossover then I should be ok by just getting in the ball-park. If there is, then I'd like to mate up with that frequency if possible.
Thanks again,
Warren
According to the following post they're crossed at 890...

If I remember right, part of the High Pass is in the SAM12x (or the DEC) and the CD
compensation and EQ/notches are in the SAM1HF box. If you're happy with the 890 figure
(I see no reason to dispute) it'll save me some time :D If I do it anyway, just out of
curiosity, I'll post results.
Yes, I can probably make that information work for me as it stands.

I was looking for information on Array 800 crossovers and found this thread. It is very interesting and I would like to know how your modifications turned out.
I purchased the top end of a pair off JBL Array 800's a year ago or so as a possible system build. I had thought of using a pair of HP88F woofers that I had picked up in another purchase around the same time to use as the bottom end. I thought that I could build a box to house a pair of those woofers and use the Array 800 HF horns on top. I don't have the crossover to the Array 800 horns and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions to match these horns to these woofers with a 3-way crossover? Would the original passive crossover for the 800 system work properly, (if one could even be found)? Or, do I need to tri-amp this system with an outboard active crossover?
Thanks for your reply.
I've re-configured my system and am revisiting my set-up.
I am interested in what the SAM12X is doing but thought another way to analyze it would be to possibly download the tuning file from Synthesis for the SAM1/2 crossover/eq functions.
I can't find where those are available or if they are readable to interpret into my dbx unit.
I realize the tunings are meant for sdec or bss units but maybe there is a way to convert them to text and go from there...
Any assistance would be appreciated.
