"I thought you had to reverse the polarity even on the 1st order slopes"??? ...

My only experience with this comes from simulating many (certainly scores ... and maybe over 100) Maggie XOs in lspCAD.

I have found that the "normal" situation with 6dB XOs is that the drivers need to be connected with the same polarity (and this is what I see as the big advantage with 1st order slopes ... which outweighs the problems associated with increased driver overlap. etc) - otherwise a big hole opens up at the XO point.

But every now and again, I found that a particular combination of LP & HP roll-off points required the tweeter to be flipped, to get rid of the hole.

So have no idea what causes this behaviour - simply that it happens. Maybe Davey could give you a more technical expose?

Regards,

Andy
