Home Tube DIY Asylum

Do It Yourself (DIY) paradise for tube and SET project builders.

Does anyone know why?

I don't:) However, after reading everything I could find on the sallen key
circuit as well as John Broskie's blog on active filters it appears to me
the equal R and equal C, version can be used as an infinitely variable
crossover, with the R's being variable pots. For example, I am planing to build a low pass version that will use 10K pots as the R's and .2uF caps as the C's.
By theory, this should cover anything from around 80Hz to over 70KHz.
At the same time a Q of .5 is constant.
Of course this is only theory but it is a good place to start. I am
certainly not a SS guy, I like tubes but I guess we will see where this goes.

By the way the caps can be different for a variable XO but the Q will suffer. Again I don't know why but that is what the calculators predict:)
