Know before you buy
This crossover is precision-engineered exclusively for the Klipschorn AK7 and La Scala AL6 models. Because it is custom-tuned for these specific designs, you must select the version that matches your particular speaker model.
Unlike passive crossovers that rely on fixed components, this active unit uses advanced DSP to manage crossover points and signal timing. It synchronizes sound by delaying signals to individual drivers, which results in superior phase alignment and a more accurate, true-to-source audio response.
Yes, the unit features user-adjustable LF (low frequency) and HF (high frequency) gain controls. These allow you to fine-tune the output to better integrate your speakers with your specific listening environment.
The crossover uses RCA inputs and XLR outputs. You will need to ensure your pre-amplifier or source components can accommodate these connections and that your amplification setup supports the necessary signal path for an active crossover configuration.
Yes, this is an active device that requires a standard AC power connection to operate its internal DSP and signal processing circuitry.
The system utilizes advanced DSP to manage phase alignment automatically for the drivers, and the unit includes phase control capabilities to ensure the sound from each driver arrives at your ears simultaneously for a more immersive experience.
