Marchand XM 46
Marchand XM 46: Description

The XM46 has a single channel (mono) filter on a single circuit board. Each board can be configured as a low-pass filter or a high-pass filter.

The high quality of components is responsible for a very good sound quality. Because of the passive design the signal-to-noise ratio is very high. The noise generated by the crossover is much lover than for the electronic crossovers.

The use of large ferrite pot-cores for the inductors is responsible for the low harmonic distortion levels. The circuit needs no power supply and is ideal for incorporating into other equipment, like power amplifiers, etc. We can also provide these crossovers assembled into a cabinet, with or without output level attenuators. The cabinet version has the four filter boards inside.

A filter slope of 24dB/oct is standard, but other slopes can also be provided. Each of the low-pass and high-pass sections can be provided with 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th order slope and any xover frequency. Hi-pass and lo-pass can be the same or different. Please specify when ordering.

24-step attenuators are included in the cabinet version.

The XM46SB is the same filter, but in a small metal utility cabinet. The size is 4"w x 8"l x 2"h . See below. The box holds two channels. This can be for example 2 low-pass filters or two hi-pass filters. There are no controls on the cabinet.

A double input to serve your woofers or active modules can be delivered on request.
