The Passive Crossover Design Calculator By Jeff Bagby

Version: 2.03

5/19/2003

Welcome to "The Passive Crossover Design Calculator" Ver. 2.03 . I hope this simple simple spreadsheet will will assist you in building and designing your passive crossover. crossover. The values calculated calculated by the program are "text book" values that assume perfectly perfectly flat impedance and amplitude response. response. Since this is not going to be the case with real world speakers, speakers, results with most of these values will will not be optimum. However, even if you are using optimizing software like Soundeasy, CALSOD, LspCad, etc., text book values are often a very good place to begin. If you are not using optimizing software these values will will still provide a good starting point to begin your own tweaking. In many cases, if the impedance impedance has been equalized, the results may may actually be quite acceptable, needing only a small amount of adjustment. Probably the most powerful aspect of this spreadsheet is the opportunity it offers for a b eginner to learn more about crossover circuits and how they operate. I picture this as much as a teaching tool as I do a design tool, and is intended for primarily for the beginner or novice builder, however, some of it's functions may be beneficial even for the experienced designer. In the first version certain assumptions assumptions were made of the user; primarily that the user already already understood basic crossover circuits, orders, and general circuit topologies. It was assumed that the user knew what the calculation was for and what the results meant. However, with this new version I have included pop-up text HELP boxes that give a brief explanation to what the contents of a cell mean or what the calculator is looking for. When ever you see a small red triangle like this one in a cell just move you cursor over it and a help box will appear. You can try it on this one above above to see what I mean. I have also included circuit schematics for each circuit calculator on all of the calculator pages. Simply by clicking on the title of any one of the circuit calculators a diagram of the circuit will appear in your browser showing each component and its location in the circuit. Simply click on the "Back" button to return to "The Passive Crossover Design Calculator" Calculator" .. Sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words and t hese schematics should help many understand the circuit better. If a more detailed explanation explanation is needed, I recommend referring referring to the "Loudspeaker Design Cookbook" by Vance Dickason. This resource is is available through Old Colony and other sources. sources. Most of the design calculators calculators contained in this program are explained explained in the "Cookbook". There are also many other excellent excellent books on crossover design as well that would work hand in hand with this spreadsheet. Another feature that has been incorporated in this released version is input and output capability for the Contour and Impedance circuit designers. These will be explained in more detail under those sections below. One more note about how to use " The Passive Crossover Design Calculator " Calculator " may be necessary, but you will find that it is really quite simple. At the bottom of the spreadsheet are tabs marked: "Two-Way Calculators"; "Three-Way Calculators"; "Additional Calculators"; "Contour Circuit Designers"; "Impedance Circuit Designers"; and "Note Pad" . Within each one you will find find different tools to help you in your crossover crossover design. On each sheet you will notice that some values are in red and others are in blue blue.. A red number is number is one that is user entered such as crossover crossover frequency, resistance, resistance, etc. A blue number represents number represents the results from a formula.. The blue numbers are protected so that formula that you can not accidentally accidentally erase an an equation. On each page you will notice notice the letters L, C, and and R. Please make note that L means the inductor inductor value in milli-Henries, milli-Henries, C means the capacitor value in micro-Farads, micro-Farads, and R means the resistance in Ohms. Ohms . Whenever two different R values are required, such as the R for the speaker and the R f or a resistor in the circuit, the difference will be noted. And remember, each page contains pop-up help boxes and circuit schematics too. Here is a brief description of each of the sections: Two-Way Crossover Calculators This page gives the inductor and capacitor values for many different types of two-way text-book crossovers. By entering the desired crossover frequency and the equalized resistance for the low and high pass sections in the red fields in the box at the top of the page the component values are automatically computed computed for twelve different types of crossovers, including First, Second, Third, Fourth, and Sixth Order circuits. Types include Butterworth, Bessel, Linkwitz-Riley and more for several several orders. There are also calculators for Series crossovers with adjustable adjustable Zeta values and a variable variable "Q" Second order circuit. For these there is an additional box for the Zeta or "Q" to be entered. Crossover values in the calculator are arranged as they would be in the crossover. For example, in the Third Order Butterworth Butterworth parallel crossover, crossover, the high pass lists C1, L1, and C2. These components would be arranged arranged with C1 connected to the input, L1 going to ground between the two capacitors, and C2 going to the tweeter. This logic is used for all of the crossover calculator calculator results, but if

there is any question remember to click on the circuit's title bar and the schematic will appear showing where each component is located (that picture is worth a thousand words thing again). Three-Way Crossover Calculators This page has a three way crossover calculator which gives the text-book values for a First order Butterworth and a Second Order Linkwitz-Riley three-way crossover, including the bandpass gain and the necessary equalizing resistor, for "variable spread" or one where you select both t he lower and upper crossover frequencies. Since many midranges may have a different operating impedance between the lower and upper crossover points there are are two entry points for the midrange's R values. However, you can leave leave both as the same value if you choose. I do not offer more options in variable spread three-way three-way crossovers, because because three-way crossovers with variable spreads are quite complex. However, for higher order crossovers I have included Third order Butterworth and Fourth order L-R types which use a "fixed spread" of 8 or 10. What this means is that the upper crossover frequency divided by the lower crossover frequency will result in a value of 8 or 10. For example a three way with crossover points of 375 and 3000 would have a spread of 8 and one of 200 and 2000 would have spread of 10. All you need to do is select the preferred "Spread" "Spread" and enter the lower crossover point along with t he resistances, and the calculator will compute the rest. These spreads are the most practical and will meet the needs of most three way designs. Again, as with the Two-Way Crossover page, pop-up help boxes and schematics are available. Additional Calculators This page offers an assortment of various useful calculators, each one with its own unique purpose. Altogether there are different sections that calculate the values for: RLC, RL and RC response contour circuits; Zobels and Series Notch or Conjugate Conjugate Impedance Circuits; Circuits; L-Pads; Insertion Losses; Losses; Second Order Filter "Q" Calculator; Acoustic Butterworth Crossover; Crossover; Multiple Driver Sensitivity Sensitivity and Impedance Impedance Calculator; Voice Coil Offset and Baffle Tilt Calculator; and an Air Core Core Inductor Designer. Again, the user simply needs to enter the necessary information into the red number fields and the results will be calculated. Several of these calculators can be used to arrive at a final impedance before using the previous Crossover Calculator page. As with the previous pages, clicking on the circuit's title will bring up the circuit schematic, and each Calculator provides pop-up Help boxes. Contour Circuit Designers On this page you will find RL, RC, and RLC Parallel Notch Filter Contour Designers. These Designers can be quite useful not only in eliminating a peak in a speaker's response, but also to compensate for baffle step response, or the drooping top end in a tweeter. Rather than giving you the component values as the previous page does, this page allows you to fine-tune the design of these circuits to your specific application. This page is especially useful useful if you have the ability to measure the response of your speaker. speaker. For each one of the Designers you will enter the driver's resistance as well as the value of the circuit components used in the red number fields in the top section of the Designer. You will also notice that for each Designer there there is a table with several user defined frequency and amplitude points. You can use the frequencies that are present by default or enter your own via the frequency calculator in the white data bar above it. Here you only need to enter t he starting and ending frequencies and the calculator calculator will fill in the points in-between on a log scale. The program will then use the same frequencies that have been entered and calculate the transfer function of the circuit loaded by the driver's resistance. resistance. Amplitude response data can be entered manually for each frequency point or can be imported from an FRD format frequency response file. The accompanying graph will show the amplitude response for the speaker, speaker, the circuit's transfer function, and the resultant resultant combined response. The resultant response can then be exported as an FRD file if desired to be used with other software. This page of the program offers the design flexibility for working with other design tools and measurement software. And in addition to the features already described, described, clicking on the circuit's title will bring up the circuit schematic, and each Calculator provides several pop-up Help boxes. Impedance Circuit Designers You will immediately immediately notice that this page is very much like the previous previous "Contour Circuit Designer" page. It functions in almost exactly the same way too, only it allows you to design Zobel and Series Notch (or Series Conjugate) Impedance compensation circuits circuits to fit your needs. This page also includes the ability to import and export data just as the Contour Circuits page did. One difference in these features is the missing button for exporting only the impedance of the modeled circuit, which I did not feel was useful by itself. Again, you enter several user defined frequency and impedance points. You can use the frequencies that are present by default or enter your own via the frequency calculator in the white data bar above it. Here you only need to enter t he starting and ending frequencies and the calculator calculator will fill in the points in-between on a log scale. The program will then use the same frequencies that have been entered and calculate the transfer function of the circuit loaded by the driver's resistance. resistance. Impedance data can be entered manually for each frequency point or can be imported from a ZDA format Impedance response file. The accompanying graph will show the the same frequency points that you have entered and will calculate the impedance of the circuit in parallel with your

speaker and the resultant combined impedance, and then show these in the accompanying graph. The resultant combined impedance can then be exported as a ZDA formatted file if desired to be used with other software. If the impedance plot of the speaker is known then this page can be very useful in flattening the impedance curve to a nearly resistive level before using some of the Calculators on the previous pages. As with the "Contour Circuit" Page, in addition to the features already described, clicking on the circuit's title will bring up the circuit schematic, and each Calculator provides several pop-up Help boxes. Using The FRD Macros You will notice several macro buttons with each of the Calculators on the Contours Circuits page and the Impedance Circuits page. The "Conform Frequency" button is used with with the FRD and ZDA files to conform the input file's data to match the frequencies chosen. If the selected frequencies are changed after importing the data then you must use the "Conform" button to readjust the data to match the new frequencies. If you do not change the frequency settings after importing the data then you do not need to use this button because it will be imported already conformed to the frequency scale. However, once the FRD or ZDA data has been imported it may prove quite useful to change the frequency window so that you can "zoom" in and out of your view of the response. Even though there are only 21 frequency data points used for the viewed graph, the ability to zoom in and out by changing the frequency settings still gives a great deal of flexibilty to this tool. The "Input FRD Response" button allows you to bring in frequency response data from an external file saved from other software in this format. Likewise the "Input ZDA Response" button allows you to import impedance data from an external ZDA format file. The "Output FRD Correction" button will output only the circuit's transfer function. And the "Output FRD Result" or the "Output ZDA Result" will output the resultant combined response of the speaker and circuit, or the resultant combined impedance as the case may be. At the top of the each page you will see the "Clear Before Saving" button. You do not need to clear the imported data but using this button will reduce the size of this file when saving. These pages of the program offers the most design flexibility flexibility of any of the Calculators in the program and is useful for those working with other design tools and measurement software. Note: some software will use different extensions other than FRD and ZDA, but the file will still be compatible. These files can still be used simply by using your file explorer and changing the extension to th e desired one, then inputting the file data. Note Pad The Note Pad is an unprotected blank sheet that allows you to copy and paste results from any of the Calculators and keep whatever notes you desire as you develop your passive crossover circuit. Acknowledgements I would like to thank Paul Verdone for his invaluable input on this spreadsheet and for adding the FRD and ZDA functions. I would also like to thank him for forming the FRD Consortium and hosting the various design tools available on it, including this "Passive Crossover Design Calculator" . Calculator" . I would also like to thank David Dlugos f or creating all of the circuit schematic drawings used throughout the spreadsheet. Again, I hope you find this spreadsheet helpful as you design your crossover. crossover.
