Has anyone seen a tried and true crossover for the Beta 12CX/APT 50 combo? Does anyone know if this would be any different than the Adire HE12 crossover? (Mike S?)
From searching on the net, the Adire HE12.1 seems to be a Eminence Beta 12CX with the APT 50 HF driver.
Unless Adire did mods to these Eminence drivers, which I really have no clue.
I haven't really studied the Adire HE12.1 x-over schematic, and the Adire site is gone with the PDF files for the HE12.1.
I did brush through it once, and recall the HE12.1 crossover being designed with constant impedance in mind for low watt single-ended tube amps.
I dunno, but that may be the reason for all the inductors.
I know you are familiar with HE12.1 crossover diagram. You did Ryans crossover networks if I remember right.
Eminence shows PDF files for various cabinet sizes and the graphs for the Beta 12CX woofer. I kinda favor the 3.5 foot cabinet size....
They show the APT 50, and a few TS parameters. But no graphs of the Beta 12CX/APT 50 combination together. (That I could find.)
The have crossover models to buy, but obviously they show no shematics of the networks.
Just the center break point frequencies of 1.6kHz and 3.5kHz.
The APT 50 has a recommended center frequency of 3.5kHz.
The HE12.1 xover may be different than what Eminence offers, but I would think the HE12.1 network would work just as well if not a little better maybe.
Never know until you lash something up I suppose....
