KP-201 Oddity

Recommended Posts

So, I was digging through the archives yesterday looking at all the various mid drivers / horns and their crossover frequencies and noticed something odd about the kp-201. In the specs listed the crossover points are 550hz and 6khz but the 201 uses a k-701 mid horn, I'm just wondering if this is a typo? Everything else appears to be accurate.
