A selective filter which splits signals into different frequency bands that can be fed independently to separate speakers. A passive crossover filters signals after they have been amplified. An active crossover (more effective and flexible) filters signals before amplification, sending different signals to different amps.

A circuit that acts as a filter dividing the frequency spectrum into two or more parts. It's the crossover's job to send only high frequencies to the tweeter and only low frequencies to the woofer, and midrange frequencies to the midrange driver.
Helpful?           0
A circuit, normally built into a speaker system which divides the full-range audio signal from an amplifier in order to feed the individual drive units, ie: bass, midrange and treble. Since drivers are different sizes, they can only reproduce certain frequencies; therefore the full-range signal from the amplifier (or sound desk) needs to be divided up into ones that are just bass, mid-range.
Helpful?           0
A device for dividing an audio signal into two or more passbands. Passive crossovers (most commonly found in mid-high speakers and monitor wedges) use capacitors and coils to split the audio signal and direct it to specific drivers. Active crossovers are used ahead of the amplifiers to divide the line-level signal electronically into different passbands and direct them to specific drivers or cabinets.

Crossovers are a combination of two different fandoms. They can range from the semi-logical (AFI/Tiger Army) to the outright bizarre (AFI/Sesame Street...Davey/Snuffaluffagus anyone? Anyone?). The possibilities are endless in crossovers, though without proper skill and forethought, crossovers tend to come across as hideously ridiculous badfics. For this reason, crossovers have somewhat of a bad reputation and are sometimes forbidden in archives or mailing lists. May be abbreviated to C/O or x-over.

All the devices (computers, terminal servers, routers etc.) with separate wires for transmit and receive are DTE (Data Terminal Equipment), while modems are DCE (Data Communications Equipment). When a host is connected to a terminal both are DTE and both use pin 1 for transmit and pin 2 for receive. For the transmit line of one device to connect to the receive line of the other device, pin 1 at one end must connect to pin 2 at the other and vice versa. This is termed a Crossover, and used for EIA 423, 10BASET and FDDI.
