In the Thread: Passive line level crossovers - re:pre amp
Post Subject: Passive line level crossovers - re:pre ampPosted by Dominic on: 1/25/2007
Is there any abstract value to going for a preamp with a stronger output if you're using a passive xo at line level?
I'd prefer to answer this question myself but i really don't have the budget to be swapping amps.
How does a PLLXO interact with a non-powered pre, like an autoformer volume control?
What i'm thinking about here is that the common problem with speaker level crossovers is power compression, and while you remove that problem as the amp sees it you move it to a location where you have less grunt to overcome the crossover and possibly you end up with more effect. If this view has some validity, how does the interaction change going from an active xo in a box, to a first order discrete compnent, to a digital version? I think i need something explained to me, but i'm not sure what.
