Audio Speaker Design CBVBSPK, as the name implies, is a free and portable speaker design software. It computes calculations for closed box speaker design and vented (ported) box design. It also displays a Frequency Response graph based on entered parameters. You can print the entire interface with the graph and calculations. “I’ll clarify – the title should read How To Make A (Simple) Speaker Crossover” Before designing the crossover, you need to know the crossover frequency and how steep the drop off will be. In my case I have a woofer that has an effective frequency range up to around 4000Hz. The range of the tweeter I’m using is from 2200Hz up to 20,000Hz.

Crossover Design

At Humble Homemade Hifi we offer all stages of design work in regards to loudspeakers crossovers. This can vary from basic simulation only based crossovers to full custom design using real-life measurements. For simulation only based designs we model the drivers and enclosures so that things like edge diffraction, baffle-step losses, time-delay between drivers and port, etc, are taken into account. Impedance curves and frequency curves are then generated using these simulations in combination with extensive real-life data that have been aquired over the years. This results in a schematic with a few options for fine-tuning to personal taste. For this basic crossover design we charge EUR. 95,- tax free (outside the EU) or EUR. 114,95 including sales tax (inside the EU). This price is for speaker with a maximum of three drivers. For more complex designs a quote will be made.
Please note that such a crossover design based on simulations only won't give as good results as one based on real-life measurements of your actual loudspeakers. This is due to the simple fact that real-life measurements are more precise and reliable than simulated data. With more precise data, more can be achieved. A full crossover design on the actual speakers is an extremely time consuming process that not only involves lots of measuring and simulating but also building prototype crossovers and extensive listening sessions.

We also offer the service of supplying components and building crossovers. The choise of components is determined by a combination of factors such as personal taste and system matching and of course available budget. Based on our experience we can advise on which components would be best suited. Soundwise we are always looking for the most neutral option but a certain 'signature' can be taken into account as well, should that be required. We simply charge you the cost of the parts, the circuit boards they are mounted on, and a nominal fee for assembly. Furthermore, if you have an existing crossover design that you would like us to build assembled crossovers for, please email us the schematic and we will provide you a quote. All prices quoted are valid for 30 days from the date of stated on the quotation. Where quotations are given, the price will remain at the agreed price unless additional work is requested by you. The leadtime for custom built crossovers is circa 6 to 8 weeks.

What our customers say ......
'I finally finished rebuilding my speakers together with your crossovers. Took me a lot of time. I was very worried about the crossover thinking it would fail. I have years experience with first order crossovers, but never second order with reverse polarity. The sound is a MASSIVE improvement. I honestly didn’t expect it to be much better, just a little. My speakers already sounded great. Friends family’s all thought they were great. Comparing with AUD 50,000 + speakers in the stores my speakers already sounded much better than most. But now they are in another league. The sound quality is very detailed. More defined. More precise. Each driver more accurate. I guess the best way to describe this is before it was a great photo but now the photo is crystal clear where as before slightly out of focus. I can turn my amplifier volume up a lot more. It feels safer to do so. The bass is better too, before bass and general sound quality was dependent of listening position. Now it doesn't matter where I walk around the room, bass sounds good everywhere ..you got everything perfect.' (Rocco, Perth, Australia - custom crossover design)

'Hi Tony, just to let you know the crossovers have arrived and I'm very pleased with them. Thank you for providing great service.' (Gerry, South Croydon, United Kingdom - custom crossover design)

'I have been listening to Sim 03 for several months and I could not be happier. The speaker design is ultra-musical and as they break in, they are less touchy in placement and give an amazingly coherent soundstage. You nailed that design. Sim 02 was a intially a bit dark / laid back. With the tweaks you recommended, I changed the value of the resistor and the capacitor and I got chills the first time I listened to the speakers with the new crossover installed they sounded so good. I cannot thank you enough.' (Scott, Greenwich, United States of America - custom crossover design)

'Just like to update you on the crossovers. Good size and they fit nicely into the speaker boxes. I soldered the crossover cables to the drivers as per your advise. The sound is great! The highs are detailed but not harsh. The mid bass is amazing. Staging is definitely wider and much more accurate. The crossovers have really brought out the potential of the drivers.' (Simon, Singapore - custom crossovers for DIY speakers)

'This afternoon the wooden crossover housing arrived. It took me 1.5 hours to get everything up and running, and what a beautiful sound they produce. I am giving time for everything to burn in and therefore not doing any critical listening yet but already, I can conclude that you have saved my speakers! You have done a wonderful job, I am very glad. A friend happened to come over this afternoon to discuss business, I played a couple of songs for him and he claims that it gave him goose bumps.' (Harry, Shanghai, China - custom crossovers for DIY speakers)

'So, I’ve spent a while listening to my speakers with the new crossovers and can say that I now have an understanding of what a really nice crossover can do for the sound. It’s not just that the quality of the reproduction is more accurate, it’s the staging that makes the music change to being played for and around me rather than simply at me. A great example is Stravinsky’s 'Rite of Spring' which now has space, depth and a musical quality not there before.' (Mike, Minneapolis, United States of America - filters for DIY speakers)

'I'm finally done with my speakers. Without your help, it would have been really hard. So I am without words with which I can thank you for spending time, knowledge and experience to help me. The crossover that you designed works great and I don't think I'll change anything. Sound is really clean, thanks to the treble that sounds airy, fresh and at the same time it's well balanced with the rest of the spectrum. The sound is rich in tone and has great timbre. All in all, really good self-built speakers. It's worth far more than the invested resources. For the first time in 30 years I am satisfied with my sound. Big thanks.' (Vlado, Croatia - filters for DIY speakers)

'The crossovers came and we got them hooked up. Right away you could hear the improvements. Just like you said: wider and deeper sound stage and more detail from top to bottom. The change in the crossover design that you made produced a tighter cleaner bass. My friend that was here from the audio club just sat their going wow, he thought that they could easily compete with 25 to $30,000 speakers. After about a week the crossover designer made it over and he was also impressed. He is squeaky tight, but when he left he looked at me and said that he was going to look into putting better parts in his speakers. Then the cabinet maker came over and couldn't believe the improvements, said he couldn't detect any flaws. The cabinet maker is goi
