Crossovers

When designing crossovers, coils of a certain inductance will be indicated by the calculations which the designer will undertake. Coils are housed inside ferrite pot-cores, enabling a significant increase the gauge of wire used to create the required inductance. The net effect of this heavier gauge wire is a significantly lowered DC resistance, enabling a range of crossovers with remarkably low insertion losses, which are nevertheless genuinely capable of handling high power levels.
