This is a simple component calculator for a first-order crossover.

Component values are calculated with the following formulae:

First-order filters have a 20 dB/decade (or 6 dB/octave) slope.
|
|
|
|
|
All first-order filters have a Butterworth filter characteristic.
|
|
|
|
|
[...]
|
|
|
|
|
First-order filters are considered by many audiophiles to be ideal for crossovers.
|
|
|
|
|
This is because this filter type is 'transient perfect',
|
|
|
|
|
meaning it passes both amplitude and phase unchanged across the range of interest.
|
|
|
|
|
[...]
|
|
|
|
|
In practice, speaker systems with true first-order acoustic slopes are difficult to design
|
|
|
|
|
because they require large overlapping driver bandwidth,
|
|
|
|
|
and the shallow slopes mean that non-coincident drivers interfere
|
|
|
|
|
over a wide frequency range and cause large response shifts off-axis.
