Architectural Specifications

The active crossover shall contain 4th-order Linkwitz-Riley filters. 

Provisions shall exist to correct for driver misalignment by adding 

time delay to the low and mid frequency outputs.

The crossover frequency shall be controlled by a continuously 

variable control with 41 detents to allow mechanical reference of 

crossover setting.

Signal inputs and outputs shall be of active balanced design 

terminated with XLR connectors. RFI, infrasonic, and ultrasonic 

filters shall be built-in.

The active crossover shall afford an input level range of Off 

to +6 dB. The output level controls shall afford a level range of 

from Off to +12 dB with muting capability on the low and mid 

frequency outputs. The crossover shall supply two independent 

channels. 

The unit shall be capable of operation by means of its own 

built-in universal power supply operating at 100-240 VAC and 

meet CE requirements. The unit shall be UL and cUL listed. The 

unit shall be entirely constructed from cold-rolled steel.

The unit shall be a Rane Corporation AC 23S Active Crossover.

Choosing the Right Configuration: 

Mono, Dual Mono, or Stereo?

Very few systems indeed will utilize a two channel crossover 

for the purpose of true stereo imaging. Discrete stereo channels 

which are run from the mixing board are usually used for panning 

effects and/or for separate equalization of left and right speaker 

stacks. Different sides of the room often require significantly 

different equalization due to varying room acoustics, dimensions, 

positioning of speaker stacks near walls, curtains and the like.

Even though you may not plan to use stereo equalization 

or panning effects, it is recommended that your system utilize 

discrete crossover channels for each stack of speakers to ensure 

flexibility and control for consistent, optimum sound quality. For 

example, if you plan to run a multi-stack system mono three-way, 

use the AC 23S rather than the AC 22S for separate control over 

each set of speakers—especially since phase alignment may differ 

with each stack requiring separate time delay adjustments. Even 

with only a single system equalizer, the AC 23S can deliver the 

extra independent control which can make a difference in sound 

throughout the listening area. If all drivers are built into a single 

cabinet, or you are running bi-amped monitors, then the AC 22S 

is the one for you.
