Must resist, must resist....can't... :roll:

What's the ideal crossoverfrequency between these puppies and the RS28 in a MTM style dipole? Do they make it to 1500 hz 4th order active?

Well, Jonas, depends on who you talk to...

The lower you go, the clearer the RS180's are. In general, I think going no higher than 1400 is a good idea. That's what I did with the 27TDFC's. With the RS28A-4, there's probably no real reason not to take 'em down to 1250 or 1200. I'm not sure I'd go with a conventional LR4, though, as stuff at 2400 wouldn't be attenuated much, and they're already showing some strong ETC dispersion by then. Just my 0.02 USD, but you know what a Luddite I am.

The RS28A-4 hangs in with the Seas Millenium quite well at test tone clusters at 1 kHz with 800 Hz and 1200 Hz side bands... beats it out in distortion at high levels, as noted on other posts.



Red is Millenium Excel, black is RS28A. Normalized to idential output levels at fundamentals (FR is similar - flat to below 1 kHz).

still shows up in my shopping cart as $27...

[Scott Simonian]

Darn. I guess I am too late. I could have used a few of these.

[Jonasz]

I'm pretty sure it said it would end May 5th, but I guess the changed their minds...darn... :cry:

On the other hand, they're not that expensive anyway!

Yeah, but an additional $10 off of each would be nice when you are going to buy a dozen.
