GREAT CROSSOVERS
Many people have been amazed and delighted with the Behringer DCX2496. Its capabilities are truly incredible and the flexibility and ease of configuration (once you get on top of the steep learning curve) have been a joy to many audiophiles and more than a few speaker designers. With pricing under $300 its price/capability ratio is off the scale. Somewhat spotty QC and problematic distribution policies have been the fly in the ointment. The DCX2496 is supposed to be back in stock this August but I’m from Missouri on that.
There are other similar products. In fact, they are probably lawsuit similar in many respects.
Here is a summary of the crossovers we know of. Most are from the pro world and require XLR connectors but Marchand is a well-know audiophile supplier.
