What do I need to be aware of when viewing the impedance phase plot when modeling a crossover network?
Thanks,

What if the Hokey Pokey really IS what it's all about? -
Depending on the amplifier(s) and/or receivers you're using, you may need to be concerned with minimum impedance. Anything below 4 Ohms is going to start putting more of a strain on some amps if you push the speakers hard.
If you look closely at the impedance curves, assuming they're accurately measured and represented, as opposed to smoothed-over marketing material, you may see little humps or glitches in an otherwise smooth curve. These tend to be indicators of problems at those frequencies with cone-breakup, system resonance or other distortion-inducing issues.

Thanks Paul. I can tame the rise/fall fairly well. I was more interested in the impendance phase plot, I don't think it looks terribly reactive, but then I'm basing that on other designs I've looked at. I wanted to post a graph but I can't seem to open the project file looking the same as I left it in Sound Easy. I also wanted to post some measurements of a change in the Modula MTM tweet network suggested by Jon, but I kept getting target level errors while running sweeps. It's been one of those days :roll:

Hello everyone, I am a long time htguide reader but this is my first post. My builds so far include PE Encore bookshelf speakers and some Natalie P towers (which I love).
I recently purchased two Seas 27TBFC/G tweeters for a BAMTM build. I tested both of them with my WT-3 and found about... -

This article will describe the fruits of my efforts to build a moderate sized speaker which might be moderately above average in performance for a basic two-way system. I desired a speaker like this both for my own use in secondary systems, and to fill a need for some friends, who desired fairly full range response (i.e., “it’s gotta have good bass”). Also, though I have access to a good wood shop, many potential DIY enthusiasts may not, so I hoped to use a modified...31 December 2024, 17:31 Tuesday -
Hi all...
I've designed two crossovers for my RS150 / Neo3 PDR combination.
One of them is a 4th order, the other one is an 8th order L-R (acoustical).
I think the 8th order is a better choice... because the electrical attenuation for the 4th order is a... -

Acoustic Phase
Acoustic phase is a concept used to describe the relationship in time between two or more sound waves at a specific point in space. It represents the relative timing or alignment of the crests and troughs of the sound waves as they propagate through the air. In simple terms, the phase of a sound wave indicates where it is in its cycle at a given moment. A sound wave is a repeating pattern of compressions (areas of higher pressure) and rarefactions (areas of lower pressure)...22 July 2023, 07:18 Saturday
