Audio Hi-Pass / Low-Pass Filter

03/14/2007 9:32 PM

Can one of you electronics guru's send me a circuit or to a link so that I can build an in-expensive hi-low audio cross-over ?

I want to plug into either the "line out" jack or "spkr out" jack of my computer's sound card ( good for about 1 watt ) and enter into this cross over at the "line level" then Bi-Amp it into the "big boy" amplifiers.

I don't need sophistication, but I think I'd like it better than just an RLC filter.

By-the-way, I do have the cross-over out of a blown sub-woofer ( has both channels ). It has (2) hefty choke coils and (4) 125uf capacitors. But I was thinking that the line level might not produce enough audio current ( driving the input of a power amp), to allow the chokes to function.

Regardless, if someone has a circuit with readily available components I can mount on a breadboard, I'd really like that

It's old, but check out 'Audio IC OP-AMP Applications', by Walter G Jung, Howard W. Sams, publisher. The edition I have was printed in 1976.

I use this all the time

If it's a simple crossover stick with 1st order designs.

I think you're going to have to use LRC.

Chokes should still work at low power.

I really like the looks of the circuit from the westhost.com link.

It's exactly what I want and hopefully I can build it on a small project board.

I'll let you know if it's a success or failure....thanks all !
