Interesting topic. Anyone going the digital x-over route should keep in mind that if you just put a digital x-over into an existing system you are going to be disapointed, and I don't care what brand crossover you are using. You have to get the level...

Nice posts Romy and Jan, agree almost 100%. I've heard the Behringer in an originally crummy system and it butchered things completely. The input levels were low, which as you point out, won't have helped at all.On a vaguely related note: I dunno if ...

Hi
Good news if the analogue stages of the DCX2496 is so bad.
So the improvement of a modified unit should be worth the ekstra work,
and remove some of the x-overs negative influence on the sound.
Which is always good to know beforehand.

Digital Crossovers are wonderful. They are wonderful because they might help to very easy to learn if you are not a Moron ™. I have covered this subject in the threads:

I certainly DO NOT state that anyone who advocates use of digital crossovers is an idiot but I do observe a very interesting pattern. There are a large number of people among Internat High-End Audio whom I do know and who are perfectly qualified to b...

Hi Romy,I am curious as to why you object to the use of digital crossovers. Is it solely due to the ADC for analog sources? Assuming that digital is the sole source, would you still conceptually object and why? I realize you probably have touched...

[quote user="Kerry Brown"]I don't understand when you say active crossovers don't attenuate. Mine does. Very well too, I can trim channels to match each other perfectly. And DEQX volume control is 'analog' = step ladder resistors. [/quote] I am not...

You cannot do time alignment of the front channel drivers unless you also do the crossovers digitally.But you can still time alignment all of the main and ambiance channels.Happily, the trinnov has 29 areas to store various setups. So you can do both...

So, you use DCX 2496 for deals but not for crossovering and your crossovers are still on analog domain, right? Romy, I do everything in the digital domain so I use DCX 2496 as my crossover as well (but analog SS pro amps). I know you're no big fan of...

I am really not an expert in digital crossovers. I rented in past a few, inducing the Behringer DCX2496 that Thorsten mentioned. I less was concern at that time about the unit as prototyping crossover but rather was trying to learn if the digital cro...

Yes, T, I understand it all. However, returning back to the subject, I would like the message be stressed: I feel that if people seriously contemplating the digital crossovers then they fight wrong fight for the wrong reasons. Do you remember the jok...

All digital domain volume controls (or crossovers, which is the same) by definition reduce amount of bits. Some “creative” companies fight within by introducing the additional processing after the bits were lost in order to hide the fact that they op...

[quote user="Kerry Brown"]My system is 4-way using 2x DEQX HDP-4 processors; 2xNuForce mono amps on the midrange horns and 6 x channels of a 7-channel NuForce HT amp that uses the same circuit. The DEQX processors function as crossovers, speaker 'cor...

Romy,
Why preface my comments ? I've had the same system for 10 years basically. I do use digital crossovers but the 'Class D' NuForce amps are not digital at all. And the NuForce amps don't sound like stereotypical Class D amps, they are very quie...

The more I think about it the more I realized that this 120dB per octave crossover is very interesting move. For sure it is bold move. There are unquestionable benefits of such a “barbaric” crossover as the throwing way bits at the signal get attenu...

[quote user="Bud"]You need to find an individual who can design series crossovers. Both JBL and Altec used these, because they sounded best. You will need to look for an individual near where you live because they will have to test the drivers as...
