Hi-Midrange and Tweeter baffle concept 1 – wide tweeter baffle

Baffle is 130 mm wide for both hi-mid and tweeter and mounted in the hollow baffle

In Leap a baffle with W x H x D = 130 x 700 x 35 mm is used (green baffle in the picture).


Hi-Midrange and Tweeter baffle concept 2 – small tweeter baffle

Baffle is 130 mm wide for the hi-mid and 78 mm wide for the tweeter and mounted in the hollow baffle

In Leap a baffle of W x H x D = 130 x 700 x 35 mm is used for the hi-mid (green baffle in the left picture).
In Leap a baffle of W x H x D = 78 x 700 x 35 mm is used for the tweeter (green baffle in the right picture).

Crossover filter


Crossover frequencies choice

DI of the main speaker transducers

DI of woofer in blue, lo-mid in brown, hi-mid in green and tweeter (small baffle) in red

Interpreting the value and the overlap of the DI of the four main speaker transducers, the crossover frequencies for the total system inclusive the subwoofer can be chosen at 70 – 280 – 1120 and 4480 Hz.
