We’ve designed the SVX2 to be a flexible component for planning
and building your ideal car audio system. This two-channel electronic
crossover is equipped with both front and rear stereo inputs. With
this design, you can use the
fader control
(on the head unit) to achieve
a desired front/rear sound balance.
The SVX2 provides high pass and subwoofer (low pass) outputs. The
individual level controls and continuously-variable filters give you a
wide range of adjustment options. The high pass channel uses 12
per octave stereo filters, while the subwoofer channel has steep 24
per octave mono filter for tight bass, and an 18
per octave filter to
suppress harmful subsonic signals.
We use only premium parts to build each SVX2, including
sided masked glass epoxy circuit boards, film capacitors, sealed
immersible potentiometers, gold-plated RCA input/output connec-
tors, and a rugged painted steel enclosure. And to insure stable,
noise-free operation, we incorporate a switching power supply with
LED indicator activated by system
via head unit remote con-
nection.
