NEW Analog ACTIVE crossover !! Made in USA, UNDER $1K !!

NO FLUFF

[n.lyndley.]

Been ‘active’ for decades.
Meridian, Linn, Sanders

Use a studio-grade DSP, multiple dacs and expensive amps.

This seems a great analogue, active x/over.
Only one DAC required or turntable fans can keep the signal analogue throughout.

I always laugh when Jay spends millions, only to send the final signal through a debilitating, passive crossover - so the (solitary) amplifier can’t do its job properly.

Bravo!

Using an active crossover is the correct way to do hi-fi, a lot of audiophiles think it's something crazy used strictly in the Pro Audio sector. Every enthusiast should have this component. Passive crossovers are an old and inefficient way of doing things.

How does it compare to your Marchand XO?

[dylannguyen]

Are there significant enhancements over the K231? TRS to XLR adapters may be a less expensive route, but idk if that will work.

Thanks for great info, great meeting you in Tampa and the Cool teeshirt.

Thanks Mikey! Mine, the K231, arrived yesterday with the 80hz module installed, and an extra 90hz that I have yet to try. I also ordered a couple more modules to play around with. This Sublime crossover is the BOMB! Very tight, it has a pleasant crispness to the way it does things, I have nothing negative to state about the purchase. Then the bass, I have that running out to a pair of the little REL T-Zero MKIII subs. They are replacing a pair of SVS SB3000 units. These little REL's just do music so much better, and disappear in the room.

Outstanding Mikey just what i been looking for, now if they can make it with op-amp sockets to do op-amp rolling. It would be prefect at that point.

Many outstanding discrete op-amp out that would take it sonics performance to another level. And do the remove panel for access just like the crossover modules.

[jeffreythurston]

Really awesome product. Do they have designers at the company that can help set up the modules for crossover frequencies and gain? Is there a cost to the modules?

[jeffdavison]

I use a highly modded Dahlquist LP-1 for my sub crossover. great design. It only needed modern caps, resistors and Burson discrete op-amps with an large outboard linear power supply. right up there now and a phenomenal bit of kit. Passive "pass through" for the highs and active variable for the lows...

[tadzius]

It's not under US$1000, though... their website says $1, 727

[dajikbatarang]

Is the only difference between this and the older one XLR connections? I have the k231 is it worth upgrading?

[j.m.harris]

Fluff and Fluffers belong only in One Industry Mikey, but I do like when the "Tweeks Come Out at Night"! Great Product! ✌

[nekky_r]

Hey Mikey, I am ready to order this on Friday. What modules would you recommend for Magnepan LRS+ and a future sub? Thanks in advance! I felt like this product was coming :)

[MajorTendonitis]

I’d love to build my own tower speakers someday . In order to get past the passive crossover trial and error building, I’d love to go active . Been doing active crossovers for decades in car audio, not sure why there’s so few options in home audio

[piotrwiaz]

what about the delay of one channel? can it be set?

[JRadian]

Sublime K235 is now $1200, so people would want to know how the transparency of sound compares to other active crossover options, especially the higher-end Minidsp units!

[rpiescic]

I apologize for any dumb questions or assumptions, but, pre-amplifier active crossovers were a pipe dream in the hifi shops I haunted in high school in 1990!
So If my speakers have separate jacks for hi and low or even hi-mid-low frequencies and I want to use 2 or 3 amps for amplification.., I should buy this device?
Would I need to eliminate the factory crossovers in the speakers since I control what frequencies go to each of the respective H/L or H/M/L frequency jacks?
Thanks in advance for any help.

[j-rod]

Have you tried any dsp type crossovers like the Minidsp flex HT?

[drdyna]

This is cool, but between my stack of minidsp units, and the one I just built from a 30 dollar diyaudio store kit that doesn't use opamps at all, I guess this is somewhere in the middle? With a not-so-middle price tag.

From what I've read in forums, it's impossible to get in touch with support for these guys. Some people say months before they heard back. Really want a product like this but that's a deal breaker.
