Hello,
I´m wondering which crossover-frequency is in generall worse; 800hz or 1200hz?
Both are right in the human voice-range (300-3500hz) and usually speaker-companies try to avoid crossing over in there due to phase anomaly.
But if you´re dealing with horndrivers, there is no way to avoid it.
So if you have a 2"-driver with a suitable horn that could reach 500hz and a cone-driver underneath like 2123 or similar that could easily play up to 1600hz, which crossover has the advantage?
In the big old 4-way monitors like 4355 JBL used a 2"-driver but a very small horn and high crossover ob 1200hz.
Why didn´t JBL use a much bigger horn, the horndriver could have handled a much lower crossover
Regards,
Olaf
