The primary function of the circuit is to dampen and eliminate the effects of driver
resonance on crossover networks. If the driver has an undamped resonance peak wich is located less then two octaves from a highpass crosspoint, this circuit will greatly improve driver performance. It's usefull on tweeters and midrange drivers. It's possible to use the circuit on resonances in the lower octaves, but it usually calls for some extremely large value inductors. |

Usage of impedance correction circuit:
Let's say you have a loudspeaker with 4,,4 Ohm, with a maximum impedance of 24,7 Ohm at 820 Hz. The impedance rise is no problem on a Solid-State-Amplifierd. But, if you connect this speaker to a Tube Amplifier, then this impedance rise leads to an excessive level at 820 Hz. Therefore, this impedance rise has to be compensated. To achieve this, a R - L - C network should be connected in parallel to the crossover. The R,C & L values are calculated by entering by entering the following data:
