Crossovers – passive vs active and how Krix use both

2: Framework

About this lesson

Crossovers determine how frequencies are distributed between drivers, shaping both performance and system behaviour.
This lesson introduces the two primary approaches:

Passive crossovers — integrated within the loudspeaker, engineered by Krix to ensure seamless driver integration, controlled dispersion, and a refined frequency response.

Active crossovers — external processing solutions that divide frequency bands before amplification, providing exceptional control in high-performance or large-format applications.

Learners discover how Krix uses both methods strategically across the range, balancing precision, efficiency, and output requirements to achieve optimal real-world performance.
