A third- or fourth-order acoustic crossover often has just a second-order electrical filter. This requires that speaker drivers be well behaved a considerable way from the nominal crossover frequency, and further that the high-frequency driver be able to survive a considerable input in a frequency range below its crossover point.
The midwoofer-tweeter-midwoofer loudspeaker configuration (called MTM, for short) was a design arrangement from the late 1960s that suffered from serious lobing issues that prevented its popularity until it was perfected by Joseph D'Appolito as a way of correcting the inherent lobe tilting of a typical mid-tweeter (MT) configuration, at the crossover frequency, unless time-aligned.

Second-order Linkwitz–Riley crossovers (LR2) have a 12 dB/octave (40 dB/decade) slope. They can be realized by cascading two one-pole filters or using a Sallen Key filter topology with a Q 0 value of 0.5. There is a 180° phase difference between the low-pass and high-pass output of the filter, which can be corrected by inverting one signal.
In 1975 Ed Long [1] in cooperation with Ronald J. Wickersham invented the first technique to Time-Align a loudspeaker systems. In 1976 Long presented "A Time-Align Technique for Loudspeakers System Design" [2] at the 54th AES convention demonstrating the use of the Time-Align generator to design improved crossover networks for multi-way loudspeakers systems.
A simple example of a Butterworth filter is the third-order low-pass design shown in the figure on the right, with = 4/3 F, = 1 Ω, = 3/2 H, and = 1/2 H. [3] Taking the impedance of the capacitors to be / and the impedance of the inductors to be , where = + is the complex frequency, the circuit equations yield the transfer function for this device:
Taylor Swift's Eras Tour ended in Vancouver on Sunday. The tour stretched for 149 dates, visited 21 countries, and grossed over $2 billion in ticket sales. Swift spent about 484 hours performing ...
Compared to finite-order approximations of the Gaussian filter, the Bessel filter has a slightly better shaping factor (i.e., how well a particular filter approximates the ideal lowpass response), flatter phase delay, and flatter group delay than a Gaussian filter of the same order, although the Gaussian has lower time delay and zero overshoot.

The Law & Order franchise will make history when all three series return in the fall. NBC has officially announced that the casts of each spin-off – Law & Order, Special Victims Unit and ...
