The compression circuit in the crossover consists of an
array of two lamps wired in parallel, whose function is to
monitor the input power to the tweeter. When it sees a
threatening increase in input voltage, it will increase its
resistance. This technique is fast, and virtually undetect-
able to the listener. Other manufacturers' tweeter protec-
tion is done via circuit breakers, which drastically reduce
tweeter output – very noticeable and distracting for the
listener.
• Small size, accomplished by inductors wound on specially
designed ferrite bobbins
Note: With the second order Linkwitz-Riley network of the
2x-4, an out-of-phase condition can exist in the pass band.
The best performance is usually achieved by placing the
tweeter out-of-polarity with the midrange/woofer. We rec-
ommend you start with it wired in this manner, listen,
