Is There a Big Difference Between Active Three-Way and Passive Three-Way Crossovers?
1 Answers
Active three-way and passive three-way crossovers have minimal differences, with the specific distinctions as follows: Active Three-Way: The audio signal from the head unit is split in the head unit's central processor before being amplified by the power amplifier circuit. The principle involves the audio signal being sent to the head unit's central processor (CPU), and the crossover method is digital. Passive Three-Way: The audio signal is amplified by the power amplifier circuit first and then split by a passive crossover, which directs the signal to the corresponding tweeter or woofer. The crossover method involves variable resistor adjustment, making it an analog process.
