What is Crossover Frequency?

A crossover frequency, in audio systems, refers to a specific frequency point in the audio spectrum where the responsibility of producing sounds shifts from one speaker component to another. It is a particular frequency that separates the range of frequencies sent to different speakers or drivers in a multi-driver speaker system. For instance, in a two-way speaker system, lower frequencies are directed to the woofer and higher frequencies to the tweeter, with the crossover frequency being the point of transition.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ f_c = \frac{1}{2 \pi \cdot 8 \cdot 0.000001} \approx 19,894.37 \text{ Hz} \]

The crossover frequency is approximately 19,894.37 Hz.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ f_c = \frac{1}{2 \pi \cdot 4 \cdot 0.000002} \approx 19,894.37 \text{ Hz} \]

The crossover frequency is approximately 19,894.37 Hz.
