In Reply to: what is a 1st or 2nd or 4th order speaker crossover design? posted by cloudwalker on July 25, 2016 at 20:33:15:
the 'order' of a speaker crossover refers to the rate at which the crossover attenuates the 'unwanted' signal, (this is also called: slope) for example -6dB/octave is 1st order, -12dB/octave is second order, -18dB/octave is 3rd order-
But it is not just the attenuation- there is also a Phase shift (180 degrees in even order crossovers.
Mixed slope crossovers are sometimes employed to address other aspects (difficulties) with the speaker design - time and phase issues being chief...
Happy Listening
