BEC Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 With the autotransformer we are talking about attenuation or decreasing the midrange output. So 3db of attenuation is where Paul Klipsch set it in the type A and AA crossovers. The higher the number in db, the lower the output of the midrange. Bob Crites.

Deang Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 What Bob is saying is that with -6dB on the midrange, the tweeter is now relationally 3dB higher to the midrange than it was before the change was made. If this bothers you, the fix is easy - just drop the tweeter to the next tap down (no other network changes required). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khornukopia Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 (edited) So, the AK-2 is a good crossover, the tweeter output is normal and the midrange is -3db more than the AK for a total -6db below flat. Well, that explains the reason why AK-2 Klipschorns sound so fine in rooms with hard floors and smooth walls.
