Linkwitz-Riley 12, 24 & 48dB/Octave Slopes.
For many years Linkwitz-Riley crossovers have
been the 'industry standard' as they offered the
best compromise between the parameters
discussed earlier. They retain good polar
response, sum to a flat amplitude response and
retain correct polarity across the 24dB/octave and
48dB/octave slopes. The 12dB/octave variant
generally needs a polarity inversion to achieve the
required results. They have been the usual choice
for most applications.
Butterworth 6, 12, 18, 24 & 48dB/Octave Slopes.
The even order Butterworth crossovers (12, 24,
48dB/octave) exhibit a symmetrical polar response
due to identical phase responses in the Hi and Lo
bands. There is an issue with a 3dB peak in the
amplitude response at the crossover frequency but
this can be corrected with equalisation. In
contrast, the odd order Butterworths (6 & 18dB/
octave) sum to a flat amplitude response but suffer
asymmetry in their polar response that changes as
the signal moves through the crossover point. This
'tilt' can produce colouration and is dependant on
the listening position. These also require polarity
inversion for correct response.

Bessel 12 & 24dB/Octave Slopes.
Standard Bessel filters when used for crossover
duties do not provide immediately acceptable
results due to deficiencies in their amplitude
response. Due to this only 4th and 2nd order (Bes
24 & 12) alignments were considered to be
acceptable for inclusion. The 12dB/octave
version will require a polarity inversion of one
band for proper summation.
The graphs on this page show the filter slope curves with associated crossover points in order to aid the sound
technician in the choice of filter shape to use for the desired result between speaker drivers of differing
specifications and characteristics.
