It is shown in parallel with the autoformer's primary winding (taps 0 and 15). The tweeter is connected to two secondary taps, so I suppose it is in parallel with the tweeter as well.It looks like the attached image (at least for the HF portion). Werner indicated on this (and my) diagram that the variable resistor was for rolloff. From what you are saying without it the value of my 3uF cap (6,500hz) may be seen as smaller (7,000-8,000hz). In my case, it is not critical because of the slow first order rolloff and the gradual natural rolloff of the Altec 414c, but being able to use the variable resistor to tweak the crossover frequency would be a nice feature. Any idea of the range it would vary?
