| Other Notes: | North Creek Crossover has 4 wires coming out for mid/high but only 3 binding posts on speaker. Sounded best with Orange spade to Red Post / White Spade to White Post / Blue Spade to Blue Post. Crossover has 2 wires coming out for low and 2 binding posts on speaker. Green spade to Black post / Yellow Spade to Red post Copy regarding the Crossovers: The North Creek Crossovers consists of three physically and electrically independent networks per channel, one for each driver. These networks are constructed from 1% hand matched components where the matching is done on a component level before the subassemblies are constructed. Matching is also verified during final testing. The maximum variation in left/right networks is less than ±1%, five times tighter than original production. The North Creek Networks are completely hard wired. No circuit board and foil conduction paths are used; rather, solid copper bus bar or inductor leads make main connections. This construction method results in a minimum of connections both in and out of the signal path, maintaining signal integrity. |
