The Series Crossover Designer is
an
accurate crossover simulation tool built into an Excel spreadsheet. This
spreadsheet will accurately produce the frequency, phase and impedance response
of Two way systems using series crossovers. It is designed to work with actual
driver frequency and impedance data in the form of .frd and .zma/zda files which
can be imported into the program. It can also model textbook filters into 8 and
4 ohm resistances as well. It makes use of full x,y,z geometric
location of the individual drive units and gives you a movable listening axis to
view off-axis lobing. It contains up to third order electrical High and Low Pass
circuits that can include several configurations of parallel and series contour
and compensating elements in the overall circuit. It
has individual sections for woofer and tweeter circuits, each with SPL and
Impedance charts, as well as System charts that show summed SPL response, phase
response, system impedance, and crossover transfer functions.
The
program also includes the ability to save out all individual driver, crossover,
and system SPL and Impedance responses to frd and zma files that can be used in
other software. The ability to print any of the charts as selected. A special
system summary print-out page for your project. And the ability to pop-up system
charts at any time while working on an individual driver’s crossover. In
additions to these output features, it also contains the ability to save all
session data to very small files that can be imported again later thereby
resetting all settings in the file to match the previous session or project.
This gives you the ability to create a library of crossover designs while taking
up very little space on your drive. (continued at bottom)

The
program is based on the Passive Crossover Designer file, but has been reduced to
a 2-way version only with the circuit redesigned as a series crossover circuit.
It comes with a full User Guide, sample frd and zma files, and sample competed
session files that can be used with the User Guide as a tutorial. It is highly
recommend that you download the User Guide and these files as well, and read
through the User Guide before diving into the program.
