Completing its most accurate point source solution, B&C Speakers announced the FB464 passive crossover for the DCX464 coaxial compression driver. Specifically designed for use in conjunction with the ME464 300Hz horn released in late 2020, users can now benefit from a solution that delivers flat high-fidelity response out of the box using 100% OEM components.
The FB464 crossover phase aligns the mid and high frequency elements of the DCX464, and implements an asymmetrical slope crossover at 3.6kHz without reducing efficiency. This crossover frequency best balances energy between the two diaphragms for minimum distortion at all output levels. Series protection is additionally provided by industrial filament bulbs which prevent over power or inconsistent tonal balance at very high output.
The FB464 passive crossover will enable the best possible results from the sophisticated DCX464 coaxial ring radiator design, coupled with the ME464 horn, allowing the lowest possible distortion at the highest possible SPL. As B&C states, new designs using the DCX464 will benefit from "a new standard in fidelity, with the reliability and consistency you expect from B&C."
The FB464 is available in both 8Ω and 16Ω versions to match the impedance of the DCX464 driver. Specifications, drawings, and measurements are also available on a new dedicated crossovers section of B&C's website: https://www.bcspeakers.com/en/products/crossovers
