In Reply to: The 'filter point' is defined as the frequency that's half power = -3dB. posted by jeffreybehr on November 29, 2005 at 18:17:39:
I believe on 2nd order Butterworth filters (Q=0.5) the filter point is specified at -6db rather than standard -3db. The 30 Hz will be down about 13.6 db and the 15 Hz down 24db. I never quite understood why this the convention is changed, but with a symmetric 2nd order xo the crossover point is at -6db and the resulting output is flat (when phased-aligned).![]()
I may be an egoist but at least I don't talk about other people.
