K-55M Low-Pass Filter

Recommended Posts

While toying around with filters, and stumbled upon something, though I doubt it's anything new. It pretty much eliminates the 8kHz bump on my K-55M drivers (K-400 horns).
 
The prototype consisted of three components.  A series 330uh inductor followed by a 400uh/1uf series notch filter to common.

 It sits between the crossover's squawker out terminals and the K-55M.

 

Attached are sweeps of the K-55M in series with a 24uf capacitor.  Talk about an extreme slope!  The "M-Trap" creates a fairly steady drop from 5850Hz to 11000Hz.

 

I know a P-trap has been used to reduce the bump.  Others say the bump is not audible.  Unfortunately, I only have ALK crossovers, so I can't comment either way.

 

Still, I thought I'd share my find. Apologies to anyone who already tried this.
