Hybrid CX223 Mono Crossover

Description

The Hybrid CX223 is a 2-way stereo/3-way mono crossover that allows audio signals to be split into separate frequency bands, enabling efficient distribution to various components of a sound system. This crossover is a fundamental tool for optimizing audio performance in a variety of applications, including live sound reinforcement, PA systems, studio setups, and more.

The CX223 features two modes of operation: stereo 2-way and mono 3-way. In stereo 2-way mode, the crossover divides the audio signal into two frequency bands (low and high) to feed two separate amplifiers or speaker systems. This configuration is commonly used in setups with separate subwoofers and full-range speakers, ensuring each component receives the appropriate frequencies.

In mono 3-way mode, the crossover divides the audio signal into three frequency bands (low, mid, and high). This mode is typically used in setups with separate subwoofers, mid-range speakers, and high-frequency drivers, allowing each component to focus on specific frequency ranges, resulting in improved clarity and overall audio performance.

The CX223 offers adjustable crossover frequencies for each mode, allowing users to customize the frequency points based on their specific audio system’s requirements and the characteristics of the connected speakers.
