Basic Information About Crossovers

Basic Information About Crossovers Video Clips. Duration : 4.62 Mins.


An introduction to crossovers. I mention crossovers to new DJs and find out that they don't know much about them. This video is basic information, does not apply to those who use "active" or powered speakers. My setups are based on SR not PA, so this information may not apply to your setups. Know the difference between Active and Passive speakers. I am not a big fan of powered speakers, but if you use powered speakers (full range) - you still need a subwoofer for deep bass. If you daisy chain your speakers, make sure they have built in crossovers and know that you are forcing your amp, in this case you need to go with 4 ohms. Maybe one of the two DJ Tutors can explain this in more detail. In the meantime, make sure you read the manual that came with your Amps and Speakers. PA System = Public Address: For speeches, prerecorded music, messages, general sound, vocal announcements, vocal amplification, application is mostly in-doors, small venues. SR System = Sound Reinforcement System: Professional audio, live music, concert, indoor and outdoor use, stadium sound, reproduction of prerecorded audio at higher levels. Large venues. I hope this helps.
