Behringer CX3400 Crossover?

[nonsuchpro]

Has anybody used the Behringer CX3400 Crossover? If so whats the word on it? I usually stay away from Behringer stuff but I have a chance to grab it for $50.

Thanks!

I don't know about this unit but EVERY other Behringer audio unit I've tried has been noisy.

But, I have a Behringer BCF2000 Control Surface unit and it works great (but no audio goes throiugh it).

$50 is a no-brainer; grab it, try it and if it doesn't meet your needs, you can flip it for the same $50!

Good point. I guess my real question is... can it be used in place of a passive crossover on a 3 way speaker that has a terminal for each driver? I know you need an amp for each speaker and I don't like the fact that I can adjust it because I will never stop. lol

Check it out here and grab the manual (I don't know enough about crossovers, myself):

Technically the interest of an active filter start where the power limitation of a passive filter stop.
therefore also can be use on low power system.
but you will have to make a choice active or passive, not both...

before connecting such equipment you must know;
- the crossover frequency (cut) from your speaker internal passive filter.
- the power from each elements. (bass, mid, hi)

Remember the active crossover Linkwitz-Riley filters with 24 dB/octave.
