    Description

    Hybrid Audio Unity U2x 2-Way Mid/High Crossover (Pair). Originally purchased as part of a component set, I ended up installing an active setup and have no need for these crossovers. New, open box, never installed.
    Description
    2-way Mid/High Passive Crossover (Pair) containing high-quality, low tolerance polypropylene and electrolytic capacitors and air-core inductors, PTC tweeter power protection, and three steps of tweeter attenuation, encased in the Clarus competition crossovers housing with gold-plated screw terminals.
    Crossover Attributes
    Unity U2x
    Alignment
    Second order L/R (12 dB/octave) filters for
    low pass (U5, U6, or U69) and high pass (U1).
    The U51-2 2-way passive crossover network
    includes a unity low pass and high pass
    crossover frequency of 5,700 Hz at 12 dB/
    octave. The U61-2 and U69-2 2-way passive
    crossover network includes a unity low pass
    and high pass crossover frequency of 5,200
    Hz at 12 dB/octave. The use of 12 dB/octave
    filters on both low pass and high pass, often
    not found in speakers in this price range,
    minimizes phase-related distortion typical
    of crossovers with mismatched orders, and
    ensures phase-coherent imaging and staging.
    The alignment topology is a shared technology
    to the high-end Clarus C2x crossover design
    and features asymmetrically-aligned network
    components.
    Network Components
    Audiophile grade. The passive crossover
    networks incorporate a super high quality and
    low tolerance metalized polypropylene film
    capacitor for highpass, and a low-tolerance
    quality metalized electrolytic capacitor for
    low pass, in concert with air-core inductors,
    and low tolerance non-inductive resistors. No
    output level switches were used in the passive
    crossover design because switches add a
    resistive effect and are typically of extremely
    low quality. Additionally, “jumper pins” add
    an unnecessary pair of splices in the signal
    path to the tweeter, and were not included
    in our design either. Rather, all tweeter level
    adjustments are done on the board level with
    dedicated non-inductive resistors; tweeter
    attenuation is accomplished by selecting the
    appropriate output (-3 dB, 0 dB, or +3 dB)
    on the passive crossover circuit board. The
    components selected are complimentary and
    ensure no notable signal degradation between
    the input and output side of the crossovers. The
    network componentry, design, circuitry, and
    polyethylene case with transparent cover are
    shared technologies to the Clarus series, and
    the Clarus C2x crossover design.
