EX-480 - CDT Audio 2-Way Crossover With Image Tweeter Output

Description:

Engineering a perfect compliment to the highly acclaimed CDT drivers was an equally challenging task. "The Elliptic" crossovers, called SatNet, are an engineering breakthrough for car audio.

They use an ingeniously designed fifth order, elliptic type network that creates very distinct advantages over conventional "Butterworth" or "Linkwitz-Riley" passive filter topologies. This topology is so unique that this is the VERY FIRST TIME it has been used commercially in a car audio application.

Technically speaking, the SatNet crossover design is a fourth order/24dB per octave design supplemented by a series first order/6dB per octave on the front end. The unique combination of the two creates a virtual 10th order, 60dB per octave crossover where the critical crossover point between the mid and Tweeter is. The benefits of the design are many. First, the power transition between midrange and Tweeter is virtually identical. Phase response problems and polarity shifts are almost entirely eliminated. What you HEAR, is a much more natural sounding component system, as if it were that one perfect speaker.

CDT has added functionality and quality in this module with provision for an extra Tweeter. EX-480 is an upgrade of previous SatNet-480 with an extra set of terminals for an image Tweeter. This operates in parallel the main Tweeter. Both are protected. The mylar and film capacitors are larger and handles more power. Level control is by slide switches.
