Two cascaded 2nd-order state variable filters, 12 dB/octave, with continuously variable crossover frequencies and adjustable Q. One channel — build two for stereo.

Four variants are provided. They are the same circuit — identical filter topology and identical signal connectivity, which the generator asserts on every build — differing in the components that set the frequency range, in whether the eight op-amp sections are packaged as four duals…

Crossover: common questions

How big is the Crossover PCB?

The Crossover measures 149.6 × 63.5 mm, has 4 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Crossover?

86 components, from 26 distinct parts, with part numbers taken from the project's own BOM. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the Crossover design files?

From the nict41/crossover repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout, the schematic and the BOM; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Crossover design in my own project?

The repository has no license, so all rights stay with nict41. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
