RE: Summary article on importance of transients over pitch

You're incorrect with you analysis of the componetry of the Froy crossover. The midbass filter has no (specific) components for impedance adjustment. There's a notch filter consisting of the LC and the CR network forms the 4th order acoustic rolloff in conjunction with L1.

It's incorrect to label the LP and HP as 1st-order and 3rd-order respectively. The electrical networks look that way, but the acoustic design of the Froy is an LR4 design at 2.2khz. All LR4 crossovers have a 360 degree phase rotation at the crossover frequency. It's a defined characteristic of this design.

The bass roll-off would follow the typical vented-box characteristic. Your statement should read "If you use the subwoofer at a 'high' enough freq then you will have 'minimal' phase effects."

There's nothing wrong with the Froy design with respect to phase response. It's as expected.....for what it is.

Cheers,

Dave.
