For example, if the trap calls for 5 ohms, just subtract the coil resistance from the R 5-1.- 1.4 Ohms, for a 3.6 Ohm resistor, and a total of 5 ohms.
In a series trap (L-C-R) you can use a small gauge wire for the L. A coil in series with the woofer especially, and to a lesser extent the mid, should usually be as low in resistance as possible. I prefer to use foil inductors, but unless you're pretty picky they're not necessary. I used the Super Q hammerheads as I needed lowest possible DC resistance in series with the woofer.
I've used Erse iron core coils the best I've seen. Iron-cored coils are only used because they are cheap, small and have low DCR for a given price. in the case of a first order low-pass filter the woofer crossover point will shift upwards = subjectively more midrange + break-up resonances will come through with more bite (especially in the case of alu-cone // kevlar etc. The way I understand it is that the 'distortion' you'll get with a saturated X-over coil is simply that the crossover won't work as planned but e.g. Needless to say there are many backdraws much greater than the slightly higher harmonic distortion that go with sets. which mainly translates into better midrange. much better phase behaviour due to the absence of negative feedback Some benefits of a minimalistic set amp versus a typical commercial transistorised amp (push-pull) that come to mind: In home audio I would ascribe the subjective superiority (to some including me) of tube amps to the several benefits they could have the higher harmonic distortion being a backdraw and NOT the reason for their good performance (besides, measured distortion patterns of tube and transistor amps do not necessarily differ much). If you're referring to guitar-amps you're right. Inductors are often referred to as Coils, Chokes or Reactors.Click to expand.
Definition and Function inductor and its types – In addition to Resistors and Capacitors, inductors are also components of Passive Electronics that are often found in Electronic Circuits, especially in circuits related to Radio Frequencies.
