Advent/1 Crossover Questions

Recommended Posts

Does anyone have schematics or otherwise any info on the crossovers for Advent/1's? Perhaps I missed it, but I'm not seeing that info in the library or otherwise through searches of the forum.

Thanks

It is Figure 4 at this link with the switch removed which keeps the inductor in circuit and leaves 2.5 ohms

in series with the tweeter circuit. The 2.5 ohm is a single 10W sandcast resistor:

The Advent/1 is essentially the New Large Advent in a smaller box, with the

XO simplifications that I mentioned above. Drivers are the same. I like the

design.

I'm pleased to say that the crossovers on my /1's are far more neatly built than any of those in the link!

The X/O is very simple, just an inductor in series with the woofer, and a 13 uF electrolytic cap and 1 ohm sand cast resistor in series with the tweeter.

They now have paralleled poly caps, an Eagle MOX, Michell posts and upgraded wiring, which completely removed some very audible harshness, apparent particularly on brass.

Leaving a remarkably good sounding speaker.

Hi Pete, I would dearly love to see the schematics mentionned above but all I get is the page with text, but none of the pictures show.

Could you please check if there wouldn't be a problem with that file ?

Thanks a lot.

Hi, Google pages has changed to Google Sites where they now only

allow sites that use their templates for web pages. My Google pages

did not conform and so did not port to the new Google sites. I'm

currently looking for the best free hosting and am open to suggestions

based on experience. Should have it back up within a week or so.

What is interesting is that the pictures still work, just the html is not

allowed.

Ah, here it is in the Google cache which should work for a while:

Wayback might work also.
