RE: Going active on Tympani 1Ds

Satie,

Correct. At the minute the original tweeter is NOW the mid range.

So what I was going to do then is basically follow the previous setup whereby the the TWO bass panels deal with frequencies FROM 80Hz to 1100 where it crosses over to the NEW mid(formerly tweeter driver) and then cross that over to the true ribbon at 3000.

From what I can see you are saying then to let the TWO bass panels cover from say 80Hz(this can vary depending upon where I cut the subs off at) and then cut them off at 500Hz where the mid kicks in.

My question here is will the mid(old tweeter driver) be able to deal with going down to 500Hz? Clearly it had no issues from 1100Hz to 20000Hz as that is what it was primarily doing before.

So if I read correctly just thinking about XO points only and disregardind slopes it would read something like this:

2 subs(mono)- 20Hz-80Hz
2 Bass panels - 80Hz-500Hz
Mid range panel(old tweeter) - 500Hz - ~5000Hz
True Ribbon - Any frequency above the cutoff in the midrange so from 3000-5000Hz.

Is that a correct summary Satie just focusing on XO points for now only.
