Fjd Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 It's funny, I have searched and searched and have not been able to come up with a schematic for the Type C crossover; I guess I'm going to have to make one... There is a hand-drawn schematic of the Type C balancing network in this thread about half way down the first page. http://forums.klipsch.com/forums/t/130178.aspx?PageIndex=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Slate Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Don't know if the modification is an upgrade... There may be a difference in sensitivity between the alnico K-22-E used with the Type C Network and the ferrite K-22-E used with the Type E network. The difference between the two networks is a change from 1uF to 2uF for the capacitor feeding the autotransformer, and a change in the transformer taps used for the squawker and tweeter. I agree. Since my K-22-E woofer is 16 Ohm, I think the switch to the Type E crossover network would cause more headaches than it's worth. I am considering just replacing the existing 38 year old caps caps with new caps of the same value to freshen up the crossovers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Replacing the old paper in oil capacitors is a no-brainer. They probably have significantly increased ESR. I used Solen metalized polypropylene. The price is right and IMHO they perform as well as much more expensive "audiophile" brands. Others here would argue otherwise.
