Ivaols Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Hi My first post on this forum I am the proud owner of a pair of Klipsch KPT-535. This pair was originally bougth as a three way active version used in a comercial cinema. The previous owner bougth a original passive crossover unit for mono amp operation and thats how I use them. I am not using these speakers like they were intended too, behind a cinema screen. I Guess thats why I have too much Level i the midrange. My question is, what can I solder to the wires that reduce the Level 2-3 db? Best, Ivan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivaols Posted April 7, 2018 Author Share Posted April 7, 2018 Or another solution, is there something that can easily be done with the crossover filter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivaols Posted April 8, 2018 Author Share Posted April 8, 2018 Zim, thank you for the reply. My Cary Audio Cinema 12 do not have a very capable PEQ. The PEQ options in this unit are few and there is no way to adjust Q and center frequency, only level. Replacing Cinema 12 is expensive considering loss when sold and buying a new one. I do have a desire to go active. For a full three way active system I would need four extra amplifier channels and a active crossover unit. This is also expensive even though Minidsp would make it financially doable in the future. I have been looking into Minidsp DDRC-88A and 4*10HD. Before I can afford the above two mentioned options I hope there is another cheaper alternative to get me along during the waiting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark1101 Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 Temporarily, you could just put a piece of screen in front of them. Not so hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivaols Posted April 10, 2018 Author Share Posted April 10, 2018 Guess it should be something like in commercial cinemas. I would try if I had anything suitable but I'm afraid I don't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
