By purchasing this video series you will automatically receive access to my crossover design video series.
This video series walks you through step by step on developing a passive crossover. The format is point of view (POV) using my iPhone 13XL Pro, which allows visual instruction on every aspect from rigging up a test crossover, critical listening using test tracks, and use of various software applications.
The video series relies on the use of ARTA measurement software which can be purchased for $100 USD here. You can download the software for free here but you cannot save with the free version.
The other software used is free:
- DATS Software (click here)
- VituixCAD Crossover Simulation (click here)
Hardware Requirements
- Measurement microphone and/or mic preamp (measures frequency response)
- Example: Dayton Audio UMM6 USB Reference Mic (click here)
- Alternative example setup
- Scarlet Solo Mic Preamp USB Interface (click here) with EMM-6 Mic (click here)
- DATS speaker tester (measures impedance sweep)
- Example: Dayton Audio DATS speaker tester (click here)
- 1080P resolution
- Point of view format (POV) for excellent visual and audio detail
- Money back guarantee (no questions asked)
