SNAXO 242		SNAXO 362

In an active system a Snaxo electronic crossover divides the audio spectrum into two or three separate frequency bands, depending on the loudspeaker type employed.

The crossover is connected between the pre-amplifier and power amplifiers. Each power amplifier is then connected directly to the appropriate loudspeaker drive unit, and only handles one frequency band. This allows better control of the drive unit resulting in more accurate music reproduction. As there is no passive crossover no amplifier power is wasted and information loss is minimised.

The great potential possessed by an active system demands not only source components of the very highest quality but also for them to be perfectly matched and installed.

The Snaxo 362 is our three-way, 18dB/octave fixed frequency crossover, and the Snaxo 242 is its two-way equivalent. Crossover frequencies are defined by a series of active filters, designed with particular attention to transient handling, which must be matched to the loudspeaker system with which the crossover is to be used.
