Crossover

  Esotec X 252

The  new  Esotec  X  252  crossover  is  a  competition  grade,  audiophile 

quality passive two-way crossover designed to accommodate four of 

the new Esotec woofers, the MW 152, MW 162, MW 162 GT and MW 172 
models in combination with the Esotec MD 102 tweeter.

The X 252 Crossover is also included in three packaged Esotec two-way 
component systems, and features a three-position tweeter level control to 
better adjust the high frequency performance to listener position or prefer-
ence. With the vast experience gained in developing the advanced Dynaudio 
premium  factory  sound  systems  offered  to  the  automotive  industry,  fine-
tuning the new Esotec crossovers brought forth a substantial improvement 
in sound quality. The Esotec X 252 is a first order crossover with impedance 
correction for the woofer to create an even easier load for any amplifier and 
a second order filter with an integrated self-resetting protection circuit for the 
tweeter. The Esotec crossovers all feature gold plated screw terminals, poly-
propylene capacitors, thick printed circuit boards with pure copper traces, 
and are housed in impact resistant plastic enclosures. Each is optimized for 
a  particular  configuration  and  is  designed  to  enable  the  individual  Esotec 
loudspeaker models to perform at their optimum capabilities while address-
ing a wide range of systems and applications, and are optimized for perfect 
phase response and time coherency in any vehicle.

Crossover

  Esotec X 362

The  new  Esotec  X  362  crossover  is  a  three-way  competition  grade, 

audiophile quality passive crossover designed to accommodate four 

of the new Esotec woofers, the MW 162, MW 162 GT, MW 172 and MW 
182 models in combination with the Esotec MD 102 tweeter and Esotec 
MD 142 soft dome midrange.

The X 362 Crossover is also included in two packaged Esotec three-way 
component  systems.  There  is  a  three-position  level  control  for  both  the 
tweeter  and  midrange,  which  allow  one  to  adjust  the  sound  according  to 
driver position and or personal preference. Regardless of the driver comple-
ment chosen, the result is an incredibly linear frequency response with an 
extremely detailed midrange reproduction and excellent dispersion.

Essentially a three way variant of the X 252 model, the Esotec X 362 utilizes 
a first order crossover slope for the woofer and midrange, and a second or-
der slope for the tweeter. The phase correct, shallow slope Esotec crossover 
networks  utilize  the  highest  quality  components  selected  and  matched  to 
extremely tight tolerances and offer impedance correction for the woofer and 
integrated protection circuits for the tweeter while enabling a linear frequency 
response and improved dispersion from the drivers, allowing such to be per-
fectly integrated into any vehicle.
